How is network bridging for Xen handled in F7?
by Christian Reiter
Hi!
Can anybody tell me where i can find docs about handling network bridges for xen domUs in Fedora 7?
Something changed since FC6, so i cannot figure out how to create simple bridges without dhcp for my xen domUs.
All what i want is:
xenbrINTERNET should bridge to eth1
xenbrLAN should bridge to eth0
eth0 and eth1 of my dom0 should also have an IP Address.
I do not want routing or nat for my domUs.
Thanks!
regards,
christian

Xen status for FC7
by Frank Morane
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 ?
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:

64bit Hypervisor on 32bit OS
by thewird
I've been reading about how to make Xen show more then
16GB of ram and still support 32bit but so far all my
attempts have not worked. FC7 was supposed to be able
to run 32bit guests on its 64bit OS but because of a
feature freeze, this was not possible even though it
still says you can do it in the release notes which I
find ridiculous.
Anyway, someone told me if I replace the hypervisor
with the 64bit counterpart, then I should be able to
see more the 16GB of memory and be able to run 32bit
guests. I did this by extracting the files from the
64bit RPM and replaced the xen.gz-2.6.20-2925.11.fc7
file with the one from the 64bit RPM and rebooted. The
OS booted fine, however, when I tried
running/installing a 32bit domU the console would not
load or would lock up almost immediately.
I can't think of anything else to try and any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Check out this
http://libvirt.org/format.html
In the section 'Fuly virtualized guests'. To turn it on try:
<features>
<acpi/>
</features>
Or to turn it off, just leave out the <acpi/> tag

fedora7 xen questions
by Deependra Singh Shekhawat
Hi,
I am using Fedora7 xen kernel version:
kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.11.fc7
and my xen version is:
xen-3.1.0-2.fc7
and I am experiencing two difficulties. First is that my wireless
network card is not working (intel 3945 a/b/g). I am using ipw3945
driver. It is loaded as a module when I check via lsmod.
But /sbin/ipw3945d says:
No Intel Pro/Wireless Device Found.
It works perfectly with the non-xen kernel that is:
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
The next thing that annoys me is that when I shut down the machine with
the xen kernel it does stops all the process and at last shows my
"System Halted"
and it stays right there. Doesn't really shut it down. With the non-xen
kernel I don't have any such problem.
So are these problems are a unknown bugs ? And what steps do I need to
take to eradicate these problems.
Thanks
Deependra Singh Shekhawat

RE: FC7 SYSTEM SHUTDOWN PROBLEMS
by miguel
I experienced the same problem on a Dell Latitude D620, a Dell Inspiron
8500, and 4 Dell 390s. I resolved my issues by updating by bios with the
latest from dell and reloading the OS. I found and resolved this issue this
way with Fedora 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Edition 5. I believe the BIOS is
V 2.3.0..
Hope this helps.
Good Day

CURSOR STUCK ALONG THE Y
by miguel
I'm currently attempting to running the Fedora 7 XEN kernel on a Dell 390.
Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz/1066MHz/4MB L2/Dual-core/VT.
128MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro NVS 285 Graphics
2GB, 667MHz, DDR2 SDRAM Memory
80GB SATA 3.0Gb/s with NCQ and 8MB DataBurst Cache
Problem: Whenever launching the virtual machine (virt-manager) the cursor
gets stuck on along the Y-axis. I can freely move along the Y-axis but
moving along the X-axis is almost impossible. If I slowly move the mouse it
sometimes works, but normally I just get frustrated and reboot the box. Is
there a configuration issue I've missed or is this a bug?

FC6 xen bugfixes planned?
by Tom Horsley
Just ran into a bug with all the HVMs I have running under
Xen with a 64 bit AMD host (FC6).
Apparently the int3 debugger trap instruction gets the
wrong PC reported in the VMs, so it is a pain in the
patoot to do debugger development on Xen guests :-).
(Search google for "hvm int3 amd" and you can find
references to patches that are fairly recent - a lot
more recent than the version of Xen provided with
FC6).
Any planned bugfixes in the pipe for Xen on FC6, or should
I look at swapping in some completely different host?

More then 16GB with FC6 or FC7?
by thewird
Is there any way to make the xen kernel see more then
16GB of ram when its installed on a 32bit OS (either
FC6 or FC7)?
I tried FC7 64bit since it can see all the ram,
however the only 32bit OS I was able to install
successfully was windows XP. Every other distro (FC6,
FC7, and CentOS 4.5 & 5.0) would freeze up at some
point in the installation or bootup section.
I have a machine with 28GB of ram and have a month to
get it running.

Tryimg to build virt-manager from mercurial: getting error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT - why ?

Hello,
I have Fedora Core 6 on x86_64 machine.
I want to build the virt-manager latest from mercurial repository.
I follwed the instructions on the web:
http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/scmrepo.html
I had performed
"hg clone http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel"
and them ran:

I have on this FC6: gettext-0.14.6-3.fc6, (from rpm of

Why is it so ? what should I do ?
