Re: Re[8]: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy's

Hi Sander,

Switching back to pv_grub, I get:

    GNU GRUB version 0.97 (2097152K lower / 0K upper memory)

       [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.   For

Hi Sander,

Using pygrub, I started my guest domain and I got this in /var/log/xen/xend.log:

Subject: Re: Re[8]: [Xen-devel] Unable to Configure Xen Dom 0 in Jeremy's PVOPS Kernel

Hi Sander,

When I switched to PV_GRUB (stubdom), I get a black screen in my vncviewer when I started my CentOS 4.7 PV guest domain. See screenshot here: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmioB47zMOI/AAAAAAAAAC0/7SHkAH9w3DI/s1600-h/xen20.jpeg

When I used "xm create -c", all I see is the grubdom prompt, which probably explains the black screen.

I will now switch from pv_grub to pygrub.

My CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest domU config is as follows. Please see screenshots:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmioCKrY-3I/AAAAAAAAAC8/Ptba4UEBY88/s1600-h/xen21.jpeg

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmioCTiIEYI/AAAAAAAAADE/LQZiRKxGEns/s1600-h/xen22.jpeg

Of particular interest is this block of statements in the menu.lst of my domU:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/xvda2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/xvda

I will try to check the xend.log and also the Xen kernel messages and see what shows up.

Hmm could you try without the path, so "find menu.lst" only ?

No errors in xend.log / xm dmesg / dmesg about the disk image ?
