Hi all,
I just did a fresh install of FC7 to see if xen would work out of the box.
Dom0 boots (with errors in the log - see below) and some Centos 4.4 domU
boots but are unseable (after recompiling the initrd image with the xen
driver preloaded) up to the famous long lasting error message "4gb seg
fixup". At that point it is dead
My question: what id the status of Xen for Fc7? Will it ever fly?
Is there a Linux distro that works out of the box ?
Hmm. I'm running a F7 dom0 with the following domUs: NetBSD 3.1, FC6,
F7, and a very shaky Solaris 10 b44.
Xen 3.1 + F7 seems rock solid.
The last usable version I saw was for FC5 as of May 2006, after that all
version were badly broken and never fixed, I tested ALL of them for
fc5/fc6 and not a single one worked as published. Only home brewed
compiled version would work after weeks of trial and error.
Here what the log says from my out of the box install:
Are you sure you're not missing the domU's console? I noticed that with
at least the FC6 and F7 domUs, the boot output starts on the serial
console, then transfers to the graphical console. I'm not familiar with
the Centos domU's behavior, but it might be something to check.
Hi,
Ok I did add the console as explained in another post BUT it did not
solve the issue:
I added this line in /etc/inittab
# Required by Xen
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty console
I still can't get a console BUT I can access via ssh the booted domU;
then I saw nash using 95% of the cpu and I killed it.
The problem is that this is far from what I want since I cannot access
the domU via a console, when I try I get these:
printk: 185 messages suppressed.
4gb seg fixup, process ntpd (pid 1230), cs:ip 73:008ac17a
printk: 17121 messages suppressed.
4gb seg fixup, process ntpd (pid 1230), cs:ip 73:008ac17a
printk: 183 messages suppressed.
4gb seg fixup, process ntpd (pid 1230), cs:ip 73:008ac17a
and yes I have the "hwcap 0 nosegneg" in /etc/ld.so.conf.
There is critical information missing to get older generation (Centos 4)
domU booting on late FC5, FC6 and FC7.
Anyway, any additional hints will be appreciated.
Regards,
