RE: [Xen-users] (no subject)
Hi Mark,
Well, I don't have all the installed packages you do, but it's close:
root@xenhost:~# dpkg -l | grep -i xen
ii libxenstore3.0 4.0.1-1 Xenstore communications library for Xen
ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 2.6.32-30 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs, Xen dom0 support
ii xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 4.0.1-1 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64
ii xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 2.6.32-30 Xen system with Linux 2.6.32 on 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
ii xen-utils-4.0 4.0.1-1 XEN administrative tools
ii xen-utils-common 4.0.0-1 XEN administrative tools - common files
ii xenstore-utils 4.0.1-1 Xenstore utilities for Xen
Looks like I'm missing:
ii linux-image-xen-amd64 2.6.32+28 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package), Xen dom0 support, Xen dom0 support
ii xen-qemu-dm-4.0 4.0.1-2 Xen Qemu Device Model virtual machine hardware emulator
The second one isn't a surprise as I didn't install Qemu due to the fact the processesor on my machine doesn't support hardware virtulaization, but maybe something is wrong that I don't have the first one. I installed it myself with apt-get and now I've got:
root@xenhost:~# dpkg -l | grep -i xen
ii libxenstore3.0 4.0.1-1 Xenstore communications library for Xen
ii linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 2.6.32-30 Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs, Xen dom0 support
ii linux-image-xen-amd64 2.6.32+28 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package), Xen dom0 support, Xen dom0 support
ii xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 4.0.1-1 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64
ii xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 2.6.32-30 Xen system with Linux 2.6.32 on 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
ii xen-utils-4.0 4.0.1-1 XEN administrative tools
ii xen-utils-common 4.0.0-1 XEN administrative tools - common files
ii xenstore-utils 4.0.1-1 Xenstore utilities for Xen
Just to see, I tried xend start again, but got the same error.
Continuing with your instructions, I did an ls -la /proc and there was no xen so I ran the echo 'none /proc/xen xenfs defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab command specified, ran dpkg-reconfigure xen-utils-common and (as xend was already in my path) ran xend restart. Same error, so I thought a reboot might be in order. Unfortunately, even after a reboot, xend would not start with the same errors as before.
I guess my biggest question is, how important is the xen-qemu-dm-4.0 package if your processor doesn't support hardware virtualization? Does it support other functions for xen and should I install it anyway?
Thanks for the suggestions thus far,
Scott

WAY easier and not only did it install, it actually boots into a Xen kernel! :) Might not sound like much of an accomplishment to others, but it's light years ahead of where I've been stuck. I did an install of Squeeze RC1 with the base system only and then used apt-get to install ssh and then xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (I didn't install xen-qemu-dm-4.0 because my processor doesn't support hardware virtualization; part of why I chose Xen over KVM). It all worked like a charm. No errors on install and the reboot brought me into a Xen kernel with no errors.

I've researched several of what looked like key phrases in the error output, but most of the similar errors are either several years old and relate to Xen 3 and, for one reason or another, don't look applicable to my circumstances OR are rooted in not having a Xen kernel started up which I have confirmed I have. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot based upon the output below? I have looked through dmesg, messages and kern.log (the /var/log/xen directory is empty as is /var/log/pycentral.log) and I can't seem to find anything that stands out.
