Description of problem: xen-guestinstall and virt-manager don't work with latest rawhide kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen, but work on the same machine when I boot into the older 2.6.18-1.2747.fc6xen kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.2.3-2.fc6 xen-3.0.2-44 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen How reproducible: always Steps to reproduce: 1. start with 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen 2. run xen-guestinstall: # xenguest-install Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)? This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. yes Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install", line 396, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/xenguest-install", line 327, in main guest = virtinst.FullVirtGuest() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/FullVirtGuest.py", line 30, in __init__ XenGuest.XenGuest.__init__(self, hypervisorURI=hypervisorURI) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/XenGuest.py", line 174, in __init__ self.conn = libvirt.open(hypervisorURI) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 39, in open if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpen() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: virConnectOpen() failed Same error happens when I type "no". virt-manager ask for the host to connect to and that end without further error-messages.
Just to be sure, what version of libvirt and libvirt-python do you have installed ? Daniel
libvirt-0.1.7-2 libvirt-python-0.1.7-2 BTW, you can find me as thl in #fedora-devel if needed
Reproduced here: xend fails to start, with File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/xenstore/xsutil.py", line 18, in xshandle xs_handle = xen.lowlevel.xs.xs() Error: (111, 'Connection refused') errors in xend.log. 2.6.18-1.2784.fc6xen works with the same userland.
(In reply to comment #3) > 2.6.18-1.2784.fc6xen works with the same userland.
