Can you also do 'restorecon /var/run/xend'? Did that, and then booted kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5xen0. I started the xend
service manually, and got the following in /var/log/xend-debug.log:

___________________________________________
Note, however that /var/run/xend/xmlrpc.sock *was* created. Also note the
potentially dubious "balloon.free(m + fudge)".
Note also that we have that ol' chestnut bug 189328 rearing its head at the end
of the log output (my machine has 2.5Gb RAM, so the error is clearly wrong).
I don't know what is going on, but I have never got Xen to work on any of my
machines. I really hope Xen improves, but I'm starting to concur with Mr
Pinchev's recent comments on Xen - this is definately not ready for
primetime/RHEL... :-(
As a quick test, can you try disabling SELinux completely (selinux=0 on the kernel command line) and try starting xend again? The policy on FC5 may not be completely right (which is a bit of an understatement). Thanks! Chris Lalancette Closed due to lack of information; please reopen if this is still an issue. |
Description of problem: Having installed xen, and rebooted into xen kernel, the system hangs at startup on the "xend" service. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bridge-utils-1.0.6-1.2 kernel-xen0-2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 python-2.4.3-8.FC5 vnc-4.1.1-39.fc5 xen-3.0.2-3.FC5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel-xen0-2.6.17-1.2145_FC5 Actual results: Hangs at the "Starting xend:" stage. Expected results: A full boot, and xend starting. Additional info: Booting interactively, bypassing xend and xendomains services, and then attempting to start xend manually results in a hang too. The file /var/log/xend-debug.log is interesting: _____________________________________________________________ Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/threading.py", line 422, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/XMLRPCServer.py", line 94, in run self.server = UnixXMLRPCServer(XML_RPC_SOCKET, False) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/util/xmlrpclib2.py", line 152, in __init__ os.makedirs(parent, stat.S_IRWXU) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 159, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/run/xend' _____________________________________________________________ OK, so it cannot create /var/run/xend.
