Xen Users,
I have always used XEN from the debian/ubuntu repositories,
as I have had very good experiences with the repository version. However,
I now find myself needing to build XEN from source, so that I can boot BSD
based guests (needs to be compiled with vmxassist=n).
I have now spent well over 12 hours trying to get a
build-from source installation of XEN 3.3 on Ubuntu. I have finally
gotten myself to a somewhat working place - Dom0 now boots (although I get some
error messages about apparmor support, etc), but when I go to create a DomU, it
instantly flips the DomU back off. I get a message from QEMU in the
qemu-domain log.... "I/O request not ready: 0, pty:0, port: 0, data: 0,
count: 0, size: 0". Ugh.
Most likely, I need to start over (again), but I feel like
I'm crawling through this process. Are there any good guides out there on
building 3.3 from source on a clean system, or a repository with VMXASSIST=n
already built in, or a workaround to rebuilding the whole thing?
I'll definitely owe someone a beer.
Thank You,
