[Xen-users] XCP-1.5-beta-base-53341 installing and starting Debian Squeeze 6.0 (64-bit) VM

[David Christensen <dpchrist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

xen-users:

I'm a Xen/XCP newbie who has installed XCP-1.5-beta-base-53341 on a 
desktop computer (Intel DQ67SWB3 motherboard, i7-2600S CPU, and 8 GB 
RAM) and is attempting to create a "Debian Squeeze 6,0 (64-bit)" VM per 
"Xen Cloud Platform Virtual Machine Installation Guide":
    http://xen.org/files/XenCloud/guest.pdf


2012-05-01 17:43:32 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-install template="Debian Squeeze 6.0 (64-bit)" 
new-name-label=squeeze64
09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f


2012-05-01 18:02:31 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-param-set uuid=09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f 
other-config:install-repository=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

2012-05-01 18:03:12 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-start uuid=09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f


After several minutes the shell prompt appears again.  The Guide 
indicates that it should have "... [booted] straight into the Debian 
installer".

Fumbling around, it appears that the VM is running:

2012-05-01 18:05:56 root@i72600s ~
# xe vm-list
uuid ( RO)           : 09f2ce06-e8ec-877b-204c-db40606c1e3f
     name-label ( RW): squeeze64
    power-state ( RO): running


uuid ( RO)           : e981fbc4-160c-400c-96eb-22d87ed82452
     name-label ( RW): Control domain on host: i72600s
    power-state ( RO): running


Attempting to connect to the console:

2012-05-01 17:38:28 root@i72600s ~
# xe console vm=squeeze64
Connecting to console on VM squeeze64. Press Ctrl + ']' to quit.

The console hangs.  Pressing Ctrl + ']' gets the shell prompt back.


Taking a look at /var/log/xensource.log:

2012-05-01 18:20:24 root@i72600s /var/log
# grep -v VM_guest_metrics.get_record xensource.log | tail

Any suggestions?


TIA,
