Re: [Xen-devel] boot Xen 4.0

[ccmail111 <ccmail111@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for tip below.

1) I tried rebuild kernel with option below. I now build kernel with:

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y


But see problem below during boot up as below..

grub.conf:

title Xen 4.0 debug  XenLinux 2.6
        root (hd0,0)
       kernel /xen-4.0.0.gz console=com1, com1=115200,8n1 noreboot loglvl=all  vga=text-80x50,keep iommu=off apic=debug guest_loglvl=all
       module /vmlinuz-2.6.31.13  ro root=/dev/ram0 console=hvc0  earlyprintk=xen nomodeset initcall_debug debug loglevel=10
       module /initrd.img-2.6.31.13


2) Is there a reference (working) ramdisk/initrd for Xen4.0 with busybox or such ? I created ramdisk as:

# mkinitrd -v -f --builtin=ehci-hcd --builtin=ohci-hcd --builtin=uhci-hcd --builtin=ahci --builtin=aacraid --builtin=aacraid --builtin=sd_mod --builtin=scsi_mod /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.13 2.6.31.13


Using this (since there is no busybox or such):

Any suggestions ?


Thanks !

I met similar problems and solved it.

if your grub.conf is OK, you can try to edit a option of  your .config.
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y
