Re: [Xen-API] the system panic with latest buildroot

Hi Jon,

 

You mean I should first install Xen according to “Xen4QuickStart” wiki and then install xenserver, right?

 

Thanks,

Qiaowei

Hi Jon,

 

I just tried the building and installation according to the guide https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot.

 

./configure.sh

make

make install

xenserver-install-wizard

reboot

This has the side effect of installing xen and a dom0 kernel, but these both come from a non-standard location.

 

And I didn’t install xen and centos-release-xen through ‘yum install’, as http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart mentioned.

 

Thanks,

That Xen quickstart is the 'standard' location for getting xen up and running on CentOS. Could you please try that and see if that works for you - if so, it indicates a problem with one of those two things in our non-standard location. If that is the case, the solution is to use the normal Xen4CentOS repositories, which requires a bit of work in buildroot, which we're going to work on soon.

I note you're using Virtualbox - I have had this working, but I have also noticed many crashes while using it. I'd certainly recommend using a physical machine for this, as it'll be much more reliable.

Cheers,

Jon
