Description of problem: A newly installed FC5 system, having run yum update, fails to be able to start xend. The xend.log is attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bronwen-[~] root 14 #rpm -qf /usr/sbin/xend xen-3.0.1-4 bronwen-[~] root 15 #rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5xen0 kernel-xen0-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 How reproducible: First system (trout) was upgraded from FC5test2, and had this problem. A second system had just been installed from final CD, and it failed as well. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: (maybe Xend is not compatible with kernel?) An strace of xend showed it trying to start /usr/sbin/xenstored, and failing because /proc/xen/xsd_kva does not exist. bronwen-[~] root 18 #ls /proc/xen balloon capabilities privcmd xenbus xsd_kva xsd_port maybe something isn't loaded that needs to be?

uhm, not /proc/xen/xsd_kva exists on machine bronwen. It does not on machine trout: trout-[/etc] root 52 #ls /proc/xen balloon capabilities privcmd xenbus xsd_mfn xsd_port trout-[/etc] root 53 #uname -a Linux trout.sandelman.ca 2.6.15-1.1977_FC5hypervisor #1 SMP Thu Feb 23 15:27:47 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Can you reproduce this with 2118_FC5 from updates-testing or does this fix it?
Created attachment 129479 [details] strace -ff -o /tmp/xend$$ /usr/sbin/xend start, output. (one file)
Created attachment 129480 [details] strace -ff file, (this is the right one)
Yes, 2118_FC5 seems to solve the problem. THANK YOU.
