I'm running Xen-3.0 on CentOs 5.7 x86_64. When I run free -tm in a
DomU the total amount of RAM is never what's defined in the vm .cfg.
In some OS's free reports less than what's configured, and in others
it reports that there's more. What can I do to make the vm see the
correct amount of RAM that's been allocated for it?

Memory offset in DomUs
by Huffen Doback
I'm running Xen-3.0 on CentOs 5.7 x86_64. When I run *free -tm* in a DomU
the total amount of RAM is never what's defined in the vm .cfg. In some
OS's *free* reports less than what's configured, and in others it reports
that there's more. What can I do to make the vm report the correct amount
of RAM that's been allocated for it?

blocked domain
by Gergely Buday
Hi,
I tried to install a fedora onto my xen domain with virt-manager. At
the third attempt I reached some success:
# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 3005 1 r----- 6236.5
MobileOtp 1024 1 0.0
MobileOtp2 1024 1 0.0
MobileOtp3 3 800 1 -b---- 338.4
But, when trying to issue
# xm console MobileOtp3
the terminal becomes stuck and only killing the xenconsole process frees it.
The installation itself did not run, how can I step ahead?

Fedora 16 [3.1.0-7.fc16.i686] and Xen [4.1.2] problem
by Rajeshwar Singh Janwar
Hi All,
I have installed Fedora 16.

[root@RSJ boot]#
Then:
1. yum intsall xen
xen got install successfully but it could not update grub entry with xen.
2. [root@RSJ boot]# xl info
libxl: error: libxl.c:56:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running?

[root@RSJ boot]#
3. Then i manually updated the grub [entry = /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen], now

After reboot and booting with XEN kernel, it show:
elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Will only load images built for the generic
loader or Linux images
******************************************
Panic on CPU0
Could not set up DOM0 guest OS
*** ***************************************
Is linux kernel 3.1.0-7.fc16.i686 comes with XEN kernel modules compiled ?
What is going wrong, any pointers ?

Yup, it is as I was thinking. Your machine does not export an ACPI
table. And we use that to figure out the interrupt layout.
If there is an option in the BIOS, see if you can turn ACPI on.

virt-manager / install fedora image
by Gergely Buday
Hi,
I would like to install a fedora as a subdomain operating system on my
fedora box. virt-manager throws the following error:
libvirtError: POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon:
(xend.err 'Error creating domain: Disk image does not exist:
/home/gergoe/Downloads/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Security.iso')
I wonder as /home/gergoe/Downloads/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Security.iso
exists. What can be the problem?

Network interface has network address but can't to bring up.
I don't understand that happens. A difference between loadings only in irq.
