[Xen-users] Re: wiki comments and install errors

[Alex Edwards <edwards.alex@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello all,

ive been at this problem all day and i still have not got any closer to the solution.
I have a guest os running but i cant bridge the netowrk connection so i have internet access for my guests. All works as expected on the host os. 

As far as i can tell the network is not being bridged by Dom0.
i have no peth0, xenbr0 when i run ifconfig -a
in the guest os if i uncomment the vif = [ ' ' ] i get an error when i try to run it
Error: Errors were found at line 47 while processing /etc/xen/XenGuest1.cfg:

if i try and use the gui the bridge physical device option is blanked out and says eth0 not bridged when i try and select it.

My guest OS wont talk to the outside world. Its sitting on a different subnet to dom0 so i have followed the page telling me to rename the vim to xenbr0 but it doenst exist and gives such and error when i try to start the guest. I read in an archive that this had been changed to my default network name eth0 so i tried that and it just hangs after the reading from cfg line.

I have turned off selinux and iptables in dom0 and guest os to remove them as possible problems.

thanks

I've solved the problem by turning SELinux to passive mode, so my img now boots.

Well  i'm having a go at the xen idea. I used your wiki or at least i think its the xen wiki!

it is pretty good, the errors at the end were the some of the bugs that I ended up with and they fixed those problems. The bit I found confusing was about editing files, it was a bit ambiguous where the file were and some of the stuff i added to the cfg file I ended up duplicating as it was repeated lower down in the cfg file. Me being lazy but im sure others will do the same. Generally impressed though.

I am still getting boot problems though still.

Unable to load SELinux Policy. Machine is in enforcing mode. Halting now.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I have attached the boot output and the cfg file if you need them
