What does /var/log/xen* show? There is only a var/log/xen/xend.log that file is empty: [root@macbook log]# ll /var/log/xen/* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 18:21 /var/log/xen/xend.log Can this tool only be used when running the xen kernel? I'm not running the xen kernel currently because of bug #205892 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205892 Yes, you need to be running the Xen kernel as xenguest-install is creating xen guests, which needs the kernel. I'm closing this as notabug.. OK, but a helpful error message would be nice instead of the horrible errors messages. Maybe there is a simple check to see if you're running on a xen enabled kernel? |
