[Xen-users] xend fails to load

[Jimmy Cullen <jimmy.cullen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a problem with my xen dom0 which I believe is related to
installing VMWare Workstation, which has caused dom0 to no longer load
xen.

The situation was this: I had Debian squeeze dom0 with several domU
all working fine.

What happened: I did an apt-get update and upgrade which installed
several updates, importantly these included both xen, kernel and grub.
Below is a list from the logs. In addition to these updates, I also
installed VMWare Workstation 8, as I had a VM in this format I wanted
to look at. I did not reboot between the apt-get update and before the
VMWare install, so I cannot tell if xen worked correctly after the
update.

The situation now: After installing VMware I rebooted and VMware
worked, but xen does not any more. I uninstalled VMware, but xen still
does not work. I made sure that I am booting into a xen kernel, but
dmesg shows minimal xen related messages. I have uninstalled all xen
components and reinstalled, but still no good. I notice that no xen
related kernel modules are loaded at boot.

jimmy@debian-dom0:~$ lsmod|grep -i xen
jimmy@debian-dom0:~$


Can anyone suggest how I can do a reinstall of xen so I have a working
server once more?

Cheers,

Jimmy
