RE: [Xen-users] Crash after update

["Thomas Jensen" <tom.jensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I run Xen on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server.  There was a patch I add to apply to fix the console after creating new DomUs.  But other than that, it has been very stable for me.  I am contemplating moving to Debian Lenny and would like to try your Live CD, but I wanted to say that I haven't had anything too difficult with Ubuntu that I would classify Xen on it as a "mess" or "pure crap".

Hi!

 Xen on Ubuntu is a mess! Pure crap... believe 
me!
 Since you are new to Linux and Xen, I recommend you to try the new 
Xen Live CD!

 http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/LiveCD

 It's 
based on the Debian 5.0, is stable and easy to use and learn...   
;-)

Good luck!

Hi All,

 

I had Xen 3.2 running on Ubuntu 8.04 server for a few months.  There were some updates I installed this morning on the host and now I can't boot into the Xen kernel (2.6.24-23-xen), nor into the normal pre-xen Ubuntu kernel (2.6.24-23-server).

 

When booting into the Ubuntu kernel, startup gets pretty far into it, including successful networking initialization, etc.  The last thing I see is:

* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)  [OK]

Then it just hangs there indefinitely.

 

When booting into the Xen kernel, it also goes pretty far, including networking, then for a few seconds it shows:

Restoring Xen domains: dom1.local

 

Then a crash...

Call Trace:

(bunch of code, modules, etc)

end trace

 

I can boot into the Recovery mode of the Ubuntu kernel but not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting.

 

The updates this morning were:

   dash 0.5.4-8ubuntu1.1
   libcurl3 7.18.0-1ubuntu2.1
   libcurl3-gnutls 7.18.0-1ubuntu2.1
   libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-0ubuntu1.1
   libglib2.0-data 2.16.6-0ubuntu1.1
   libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3ubuntu0.1
   libxen3 3.2.0-0ubuntu10.1
   python-xen-3.2 3.2.0-0ubuntu10.1
   tzdata 2009b-0ubuntu0.8.04
   xen-docs-3.2 3.2.0-0ubuntu10.1
   xen-hypervisor-3.2 3.2.0-0ubuntu10.1
   xen-utils-3.2 3.2.0-0ubuntu10.1

I'm not sure where to even start troubleshooting, I'm new to Xen and fairly new to linux.

 

Any clues?

 

Thanks,

Peter
