Description Thomas Hutterer 2006-08-11 12:57:23 UTC
Description of problem:
I am using kernel-xen-2174 on my host and kernel-xen-2174 in my guest. 
If a start xend it does not create the bridge device

With kernel-xen0-2174 and kernel-xenU-2174 everything works proberly

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xen 3.0.2
kernel-xen-2174


How reproducible:
install kernel-xen-2174 and start xend


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install kernel-xen-2174
2. boot
3. /etc/init.d/xend start
  
Actual results:
xend-debug shows: 

Link veth0 is missing.
This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of interfaces
that the loopback driver supports.  If the loopback driver is a module, you
may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter (nloopbacks=<N>); if the
driver is compiled statically into the kernel, then you may set the parameter
using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the domain 0 kernel command line.


Expected results:
available Network

Could you please show me the result of

ifconfig
lsmod

Thanks,

Comment 3 Herbert Xu 2006-08-11 13:40:23 UTC
Please try

modprobe blkbk
modprobe netbk
modprobe netloop

before you start xend

Please also make sure that you have the latest version of the package containing
xend itself.

Comment 4 Thomas Hutterer 2006-08-11 14:09:07 UTC
my xen package is xen-3.0.2-3.FC5

executing the three modprobes lets xend create the bridge device. But if I now
start my guest I get the following output:

/var/log/xend-debug.log: 
ERROR: Non PAE-kernel on PAE host.
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS


Why comes this error message? I thougt, kernel-xen has PAE enabled?



I have created this guest with FC5 and kernel-xen0. In the guest was kernel-xenU
installed. After the successfull installation I installed kernel-xen-2174 (the
one with PAE) on the guest and on the host. 


Greetings

Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2006-08-14 19:42:37 UTC
If you're using kernel-xen in the guest, you also need 'alias scsi_hostadapter
xenblk' in /etc/modprobe.conf of the guest before installing the kernel so the
initrd ends up with the needed driver.

Comment 6 Herbert Xu 2006-08-14 23:01:10 UTC
Hi Jeremy:

Could you please check whether we have these modprobe's in the init.d script and
add them if necessary?  Thanks.

Comment 7 Jeremy Katz 2006-08-15 00:49:39 UTC
They're in the initscript of the current xen package, but I don't know that
we've pushed back all the stuff from rawhide to FC5 at this point because doing
so requires quite a bit of coordination (to get kernel + userspace all done at
the same time)

Comment 8 Herbert Xu 2006-08-15 10:14:49 UTC
*** Bug 201796 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Thomas Hutterer 2006-08-16 10:45:45 UTC
Hi! 

To load the neccesary modules,I have inserted the following commands in
/etc/init.d/xend on the host  
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        modprobe blkbk
        modprobe netbk
        modprobe netloop


And I have added following line in /etc/modprobe.conf in the guest: 
alias scsi_hostadapter xenblk


Now the guest starts without any problems. 

thx for the help,
    Thomas
