Hi,

 

I introduce myself, I’m David and I’m preparing for RHCE and Xen is a pre-requisite for the lab exam, I’ve worked with OpenVZ but never with Xen so I’m confused with all this, though I’ve read Xen doc, it still bugs me.

 

I’ve got the infamous “Console is not yet active for guest” issue, when I first installed stock Xen from CentOS (3.0, if I’m not wrong) and started virt-manager, insralled WinXP SP3 Fully virtualized it worked and when I opened the console I could see XP’s desktop and work with it, but I wanted to install x64 CentOS x86_64 as DomU but as I read 3.0 doesn’t support that, so I decided to download and compile Xen 3.3 from source, Installed it but could never get it to boot, I guess that’s my mistake on some Grub line, then I googled for Xen 3.3 repos, I found one and Installed from there, now Xen starts fine but whenever I try to connect to XP’s console using virt-manager I get “Console is not yet active for guest” tried installing CentOS and the same error shows on virt-console

 

I’ve read many posts but they don’t give me any lead on this, I know I might have something wrong somewhere but as I’m a n00b with Xen, I’m a bit frustrated

 

My setup is as follows:

 

CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on an HP Proliant ML-115 with 2GB of RAM the specs for the server are the standard from HP

 

I’m using Xen 3.3.0 from this repo:

Sorry if I made a repeated question but I’m not too much into joining mailing lists to get a problem solved and then leave, I 1st look my problem up and as a last resource I ask.

 

Thanks for any help that can be provided.
