Hello, I just installed Fedora 11 Xen PV domU on Fedora 11 Xen dom0, using virt-install like this: virt-install -n testvm -r 512 --vcpus=1 -f /dev/vg_dom0test/testvm --vnc -p -l "ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os"; Installation goes fine, but after the installation is complete, and the domU gets rebooted, it will never come up again. I tried multiple times, and it's always the same. Installation starts and works fine, but after installation domU doesn't start anymore - not even after "xm destroy" and "xm start". I started investigating the problem, and from "xm log" I noticed the last line of output is about starting pygrub and nothing after that. I checked "ps aux" and noticed pygrub is there, waiting for something. "strace -p" shows it's waiting for something, and checking the status all the time. I tried running the same pygrub command from cmdline, and noticed I have to press enter before the kernel gets chosen by pygrub. After pressing enter pygrub copies the kernel/initrd/configuration and exists OK. I echoed the config from manual pygrub run to /var/run/xend/boot/xenbl.pid file, killed pygrub, and after that the after-installation-reboot continued normally.. When the domU got up I checked grub.conf from it: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_f11domu-lv_root # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/xvda default=0 timeout=0 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_f11domu-lv_root rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE.img timeout=0 looks suspicious.. so I changed it to 5. After that domU comes up OK on its own.. I changed timeout back to 0, and pygrub gets stuck again. Is this a bug of pygrub, or a broken default grub.conf timeout value of F11? -- Pasi -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
