Hi Everyone, I installed a fully virtualized
VM on my system noted below. To keep it simple I made it puppy linux. It runs
as expected, including successful reboots. So… it appears that reboots are
broken on my system for paravirtualized systems. I seem to recall the test
install of windows I did about a month ago seemed to work also as it was
likewise fully virtualized. Any ideas? Thanks!

Behalf Of Robert E. Moser Greetings, I’m new to xen virtualization on CentOS, but I have been
unable to find the answer to this problem I’m experiencing. My setup: AMD quad core (64bit), 8Gb ram. CentOS 5.3
dom0, CentOS 5.3 domU’s (paravirtualized). Dom0 is set up with two NIC’s, the built-in and a PCI card,
and I set up xen bridging on both interfaces. My domU’s seem to boot up fine, run fine, and shutdown
fine. However, if I attempt a reboot operation, they go into a state
where they continually crash on startup. I have been unable to ascertain
why this happens, and I do not know how to fix it when it does happen.
So, my question is twofold: 1)
How do I get it out of the continual boot/crash
cycle? Xm destroy doesn’t work, none of the GUI tools work. So far
the only answer has been rebooting dom0, which is not a good answer L 2)
Has anyone else seen this/solved this? Besides
being able to manually fix it from #1 above, it sure would be nice to have it
able to reboot as expected. I haven’t worked with any fully virtualized guests yet, but
I will try that pretty soon and see if it evidences the same behavior. Uname –a è Linux
