Xen dom0 is not supported in Fedora 9, only DomU guests will be supported http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops The xen.gz is left in the RPM since we may be able to re-introduce Dom0 support post-GA, or in F10 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 Until that time though, it is expected that booting Xen will hang. ------- Comment From lizg.com 2008-04-01 04:41 EDT------- Suzuki, Yes. That's where we can push. Thanks for the help! Zhengang |
=Comment: #0================================================= Zhen Gang Li <lizg.com> - 2008-03-26 22:40 EDT Installed Fedora 9 with an Xen kernel, the grub boot entry has a wrong xen image file name: kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.25-0.2.rc4.fc9 should be: kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.25-0.2.rc4.fc9xen Other wise, grub complains with an 'Error 15: File not found' message After booted to the correct xen image file, the system hangs. The screen shows the following: --------Start of the screen-------- (XEN) virt_entry = 0xc0776000 (XEN) Xen kernel: 32-bit, PAE, lsb (XEN) Dom0 kernel: 32-bit, PAE, lsb, paddr 0x400000 -> 0xacf000 (XEN) PHYSICAL MEMORY ARRANGEMENT: (XEN) Dom0 alloc: 000000003c000000->000000003e000000 (474508 pages to be allocated) (XEN) VIRTUAL MEMORY ARRANGEMENT: (XEN) Loaded kernel: c0400000->c0acf000 (XEN) Init. ramdisk: c0acf000->c10da200 (XEN) Phys-Mach map: c10db000->c12b2630 (XEN) Start info: c12b3000->c12b3474 (XEN) Page tables: c12b4000->c12c3000 (XEN) Boot stack: c12c3000->c12c4000 (XEN) TOTAL: c0000000->c1400000 (XEN) ENTRY ADDRESS: c0776000 (XEN) Dom0 has maximum 2 VCPUs (XEN) elf_load_binary: phdr 0 at 0xc0400000 -> 0xc0734000 (XEN) elf_load_binary: phdr 1 at 0xc0734000 -> 0xc0809a88 (XEN) Initrd len 0x60b200, start at 0xc0acf000 (XEN) Scrubbing Free RAM: .done.

I had to hard reset the system to reboot. Hardware Environment Machine type: IBM desktop 8212-KCG Cpu type: IA-32 Is this reproducible? Yes. Describe the steps: 1. Install Fedora 9, make sure to select the Xen kernel and Xen support packages. 2. Boot to Xen kernel =Comment: #2================================================= Zhen Gang Li <lizg.com> - 2008-03-27 06:02 EDT I didn't select not to install the generic kernel. But the grub only comes with a xen-kernel. So I'm not able to boot into the system. 'Tab' on the grub edit prompt also shows that the /boot doesn't have the generic kernel. See if the entry in grub helps since I cannot copy the grub.conf inside the system: root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.25-0.2.rc4.fc9 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-0.2.rc4.fc9xen ro root=UUID=2d12d0e1-bade-4c9b-97c5-328d3602e0ad module /boot/initrd-2.6.25-0.2.rc4.fc9xen.img =Comment: #3================================================= Suzuki Kp <suzukikp.com> - 2008-03-27 06:49 EDT I am able to reproduce the issue locally. I tried both custom partition layout as well as the automatic partitioning. Both didn't have an effect on this. Debugging further. Thanks Suzuki
