[Xen-users] 4 questions about Xen (under qemu)

[octane indice <octane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I'm trying Xen under qemu. It works good.

I have question:

1. I always need to start domU twice:
root@darkstar:~# xm create zipslack
Using config file "/etc/xen/zipslack".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working
root@darkstar:~# xm create zipslack
Using config file "/etc/xen/zipslack".
Started domain zipslack
root@darkstar:~#

Why it doesn't work the first time?

2. network reliability. With qemu, I use a -redir tcp:2222::22 in order to use 
ssh.
With dom0 it's OK. As soon as I start domU it's not working anymore. Can I 
avoid that?

3. precompiled kernel
Kernels given in the website don't seems to have modules. I would need some 
to do nfs, reading iso9660 files and so on. 
Are another kernels given (with all modules) or have I to recompile one? 
the doc isn't quite clear with that 
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/readmes/user/user.html#S
ECTION02140000000000000000 says that after compilation you have 2 
kernels. (what about modules?)

4. cdrom: is it possible to use the cdrom from domU? I can't manage to make it 
run? I could share it by domO and nfs, and mount it under domU, but nfs 
doesn't work (see 3.)

thanks
