libvir: Xen error on Guest install - Fedora 6 64-bit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm having difficulties getting Xen to run on Fedora 6 64-bit. The host system is a dual core opteron server with 1gb of ram. This server does not have X installed and is only reachable via ssh, so any graphical tools can't be used.

I have the following installed

xen-3.0.3-9
libvirt-0.3.1-1
kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.3001

The xen kernel loads fine:

Linux removed.removed.com 2.6.20-1.3001.fc6xen #1 SMP Thu Aug 9 16:18:42 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and domU is up and running:

Name                                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0      723     2 r-----     30.9

When i use virt-install i get the following

virt-install --nographic

Starting install...

Domain installation still in progress.  You can reconnect to
the console to complete the installation process.

At this point I get dumped back to a command prompt. If i try to reconnect to the console, I get:

xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

I have no idea what to do from this point. I have checked log files however I can't find what's wrong. xend.log shows

[2007-08-30 10:48:31 xend 3449] DEBUG (DevController:472) hotplugStatusCallback /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/768/hotplug-status.

and the qemu-dm log says

xs_read(): vncpasswd get error. /vm/6416a433-45ac-af5d-5a04-6f23be199dc4/vncpasswd.
Could not initialize SDL - exiting

I've spent three days with this and I haven't been able to find any help. I've found a lot of hints but nothing has worked. If someone can offer some assistance I'd greatly appreciate it!
