xen domain0 corrupted fs
by Taneli Vähäkangas
Hi!
Sorry for sketchiness in this report, but the xen domain0 kernel (I
don't have any guests set-up yet) just shitted all over /etc directory
and locked up the machine while trying to do shutdown. There was a
backtrace or somesuch on the screen, but apparently that was not logged
anywhere. On next boot, the xen kernel halted while trying to fsck, so I
gave up and started the standard kernel and then fsck.ext3 corrected a
few thousand errors (or so it seemed) on the / partition. The problems
happened on the first and only boot to the xen kernel ever, about 20
minutes after installing FC5. The machine is a bog-standard dell
optiplex gx620 (P4 HT), with 3G memory. Did I hit a known bug? I'm not
on the list, so please keep me on cc ...

That sounds like a good possiblity since I'm at work and sshd to it, I'll
try running it on the box and see what happens.

xen domain creation problem
by David Rhodus
Hello. I am having problems getting xen setup and working on a FC5
install. I have been following the instructions from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5
[root@client ~]# xenguest-install.py
What is the name of your virtual machine? vmxen
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /home/vmxen
How large would you like the disk to be (in gigabytes)? 4
What is the install location?
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/
Starting install...
Using config file "/etc/xen/vmxen".
Error: Error creating domain: The privileged domain did not balloon!
If your install has exited, you can restart your guest by running
'xm create -c vmxen'. Otherwise, you can reconnect to the console
by running 'xm console vmxen'
[root@client ~]# xm create -c vmxen
Using config file "/etc/xen/vmxen".
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 256, in ?
cf = get_config(file, isconfig)
File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 139, in get_config
raise RuntimeError, "Unable to read filesystem"
RuntimeError: Unable to read filesystem
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
[root@client ~]# ls -l /home/vmxen
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4294967297 Mar 27 09:22 /home/vmxen
[root@client ~]#
I have attached xend-debug.log and xend.log files.
Any hints on what I should look at next ?

I'm at this moment running "xm top" watching four domains bounce along happily in a
1G Athlon 1800 test box. Two have full X environments available via VNC, two are web
server installations. There was some initial difficulty in the configuration until
I had the bright idea of following the instructions in the Quickstart wiki and then
everything worked beautifully. The domainU's are using both file and LVM backed
disks.
I'm about to build out a second domain0 machine to test the migration option. If I
understand it correctly, if a domain is migrated from one physical host to another,
it does so transparently to end users. I'm curious how to go about setting this up.
The user guide shows the option but not much on how to actually configure it. Do I
need to configure identical domains on both physical hosts? I'm assuming that the
disk device would need to be available to both hosts via SAN. Or is there some
synchronization that occurs between the domainUs?

[Fwd: [Fedora-xen] DeprecationWarning: Non-ASCII character '\xeb' ....]
by Thomas Trepper
Hi all,
just to inform you, i have already modified the opt.py file as it is
advised in the article, which i have read following the link in the
error-statement.
I added the following first two lines:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: iso-8859-15 -*-
But the error is the same. Do i still miss something? Does anybody has
an idea?
The base-system is FC5 on AMD-64 with 2GB memory.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Thomas

Hi all,
i have a fresh install of FC5 and the xen-kernel enabled. Yesterday i
