Re: [Xen-users] trixbox through hvm woes

My main problem is I can't attach to the boot process. I've tried VNC, but the network setup is a bit convoluted and I'm unsure how to set this up. Besides, I'm not sure whether my Xen config is correct anyway:


kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.0/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
memory  = '512'
root    = '/dev/sda1 ro'
disk = [ 'phy:calimero-volgroup-1/asterisk.outernet- disk,sda1,w','file:/root/trixbox-2.2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
name    = 'asterisk.outernet'
vif = [ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0,ip=192.168.123.13,mac=00:16:3E: 05:03:01' ]
cdrom='/root/trixbox-2.2.iso'
boot='d'
device_model='/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.0/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

I've changed the vnc-listen setting and I got it to work now, however the VNC connection seems to be dropped when connecting to it. It's a bit irregular as I saw the image boot once, until the kernel booted and then the connection got hung.

Using netstat, I see the VNC connection start listening when I xm create the client, but also see the port disappear the moment I connect to it.

Is there any reason why the VNC server shuts down so easily, and how/ where could I debug this?

Thanks,

</Steven>
