Hi, as I’ve not received any response at all I
post my message again, might be my messages aren’t getting to the list.
Please if my message has been answer a ton of times
at least be polite and refer me to the answer, ignoring is rude and bad
manners.
I introduce myself, I’m David and I’m
preparing for RHCE and Xen is a pre-requisite for the lab exam, I’ve
worked with OpenVZ but never with Xen so I’m confused with all this,
though I’ve read Xen doc, it still bugs me.
I’ve got the infamous “Console is not yet
active for guest” issue, when I first installed stock Xen from CentOS
(3.0, if I’m not wrong) and started virt-manager, insralled WinXP SP3
Fully virtualized it worked and when I opened the console I could see
XP’s desktop and work with it, but I wanted to install x64 CentOS x86_64
as DomU but as I read 3.0 doesn’t support that, so I decided to download
and compile Xen 3.3 from source, Installed it but could never get it to boot, I
guess that’s my mistake on some Grub line, then I googled for Xen 3.3
repos, I found one and Installed from there, now Xen starts fine but whenever I
try to connect to XP’s console using virt-manager I get “Console is
not yet active for guest” tried installing CentOS and the same error
shows on virt-console
I’ve read many posts but they don’t give
me any lead on this, I know I might have something wrong somewhere but as
I’m a n00b with Xen, I’m a bit frustrated
Sorry if I made a repeated question but I’m not
too much into joining mailing lists to get a problem solved and then leave, I 1st
look my problem up and as a last resource I ask.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

David
