Xen project Mailing List

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the reply. I am sure of the dom0 support as I manually changed the config according to wiki.xen.org, I also added echo command to the grub entry to tell me if the three parts are correctly loaded. The problem is it hangs when I see 'starting authorization manager'. And after 30 minutes it is still there hanging.

This email is typed on my iPhone. I'd like to apologize for any mistake in it.

Ken,

before you go to the trouble of building xen, make sure your desired kernel will support dom0.
grep XEN /boot/config-3.10*
if you don't return at least 35 entries from ^^, then that Redhat kernel does not support dom0. I know for a fact it does not, but convince yourself too.

There is another kernel you can use, but its not supported by RH. For more info, visit #xen on freenode.net

BTW, I happily use Xen built from source on CentOS 7, with kernel-ml 3.16.1 (elrepo), and systemd is enabled.

Hi,
I used to be working under Debian but recently I've moved on to Redhat. I compiled and installed Xen 4.4.1 on redhat linux 7 x64 with linux 3.1-.59 kernel. after that I add an entry in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. I copied a default one and made some change, in which I wrote:

menuentry 'Xen 4.4.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.59) 7.0 (Maipo)' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64-advanced-4a6ecbd4-e01b-4030-ab09-a43d5b6f63b5' {

echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
module /boot/initramfs-3.10.59.img
}

I added some options like iommu=1. But I was and am pretty sure they're not the problem.
I noticed that the default grub.cfg used linux16 and initrd16 instead of linux and initrd (in Debian). Like this:

menuentry 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64) 7.0 (Maipo)' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --unrestricted $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64-advanced-4a6ecbd4-e01b-4030-ab09-a43d5b6f63b5' {
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos6'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd1,msdos6 --hint-efi=hd1,msdos6 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,msdos6 --hint='hd0,msdos6' 4a6ecbd4-e01b-4030-ab09-a43d5b6f63b5
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4a6ecbd4-e01b-4030-ab09-a43d5b6f63b5
fi
linux16 /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=4a6ecbd4-e01b-4030-ab09-a43d5b6f63b5 ro nomodeset crashkernel=auto vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 vconsole.keymap=us rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
initrd16 /boot/initramfs-3.10.0-123.9.3.el7.x86_64.img
}

So dose that lead to the problem? And what a correct Xen entry should be?

Best regards,
Kenneth
