[Xen-users] problem starting domU with pygrub

[Marcus Larsson <kore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have installed CentOS 5.1 (x86_64) on a server and I have
installled xen 3.2.1 from source.

I created a config for a domU (also CentOS) and started
installing. So far so good but when I try to boot this domU with
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub" it hangs, ie. the pygrub process is
a zombie.

Config used for installation:

kernel = "/boot/xen/centos/i386/vmlinuz"
ramdisk = "/boot/xen/centos/i386/initrd.img"
extra = "text"
name = "pro-db"
memory = "8192"
disk = [ 'phy:int/pro-db-root,xvda,w', 'phy:int/pro-db-swap,xvdb,w', 
'phy:mellan/pro-db-data,xvdc,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0', ]
vcpus=4
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'destroy'
on_crash    = 'destroy'
access_control = ['policy=proodle,label=proodle']

Config used for normal boot:

name = "pro-db"
memory = "8192"
disk = [ 'phy:int/pro-db-root,xvda,w', 'phy:int/pro-db-swap,xvdb,w', 
'phy:mellan/pro-db-data,xvdc,w' ]
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0', ]
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus=4
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
access_control = ['policy=proodle,label=proodle']

I try to start the domU with ``xm create pro-db -c'' and it
says:
Using config file "/etc/xen/pro-db".

and then nothing happens.

The xend logfile just states: DEBUG (XendBootloader:100) Launching bootloader 
as ['/usr/bin/pygrub', '--output=/var/run/xend/boot/xenbl.31933', 
'/dev/int/pro-db-root'].

``xm list'' states:

Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
pro-db                                       1  8192     0     -bp---      0.0


I have attached a file with the output from ``xm dmesg''. If
you need any more info please let me know. 

Also, the whole reason I installed 3.2.1 is that 32-bit domU on
64-bit dom0 doesn't work with the version that CentOS 5.1 ships
with.
