After the automatic reboot the system came up, but the graphical display ended up displaying 40% black screen and 60% white screen (lower area). Weird. nvidia graphics card, nv driver, xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.0.2-1.fc7 I was able to log in remote. I switched grub.conf to boot the non-xen kernel. Rebooted. Now system came up fine, X looks good now. So may be this hardware is not appropriate for running xen? kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.5.fc7 is known to be DOOMED. 2.6.20-2925.7.fc7 mostly works on x86_64; a still more stable kernel will be out tomorrow. Please try again with one of these kernels and close this issue if your guest install works. Update to latest rawhide and kernel kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.8.fc7
Still does not work. What is the meaning of the following error message?
First, the console displays:
libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting a name
libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Error creating
domain: The privileged domain did not balloon!')
libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:
In the error dialog that pops up I get:
Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'>
virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Error creating
domain: The privileged domain did not balloon!')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 681, in do_install
dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 649, in
start_install
return self._do_install(consolecb, meter)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 666, in
_do_install
self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 480, in createLinux
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err
'Error creating domain: The privileged domain did not balloon!')
'
Setting selinux to permissive did not make a difference.
OK, this is much better. Can you please attach xend.log and list all the relevant rpm versions (xen, libvirt, virt-manager, python-virtinst)? Thanks! Created attachment 154756 [details]

change QA contact Hi, is this still an issue? This bug has been open for quite a while. Sorry, I only tried once, then gave up. I currently do not have rawhide on that machine installed, but RHEL 5, so it will be quite some work to test again. I'd prefer to not do that work, unless my test results will really help you. If you haven't looked into my bug report at all, if nobody has attempted to produce a fix, then I'd prefer to not test again. Nope that's fine. Truth is this was an issue at the xen level anyways, and since this is the only bug with the error message 'domain did not balloon', no one else is hitting it, and there has been significant change since this bug was filed, I'm closing it as WORKSFORME. Thanks. |
Description of problem: - AMD i686 host machine, 1.1 Ghz, 1 GB ram. - latest pre-fedora-7 rawhide installed - Trying to use virt-manager to install a rhel 5 guest I was able to complete the virt-manager wizard, I selected "shared physical device" option. 450 MB ram for guest. Installation process stalled, displaying the "grayed out" summary dialog of virt-manager. In xend.log I found the stack shown below. Maybe the xen kernel is simply unstable on my hardware. - I crashed while attempting to mount a filesystem - while the virt-manager was still hung, I did a "rpm -qa virt-manager kernel-xen xen", which caused to provide "some" output, but then the machine rebooted...
