No interface detected!
by Jairaj Menon
I am new to xen and trying to setup the same on a fc4 base. I would like
to setup two guest OS on xen FC3 and FC4.
I blindly followed fedoraXenQuickstart url and installed FC3
base...everything worked fine so far ...i was able to initialize my FC3
guest OS as well...but it shows no network interface.
Can anyone help me to understand how can i bring the my FC3 guest OS on
the network.. ?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Fwd: rawhide report: 20060214 changes

i.e. at this point the Rawhide default kernel integrates the Xen support
I guess this mean Xen will be more widely used in Fedora Core 5 deployements.

fsck.ext3 -a /dev/hda1
by Chitlesh GOORAH
Hello, there,
I have been following the howto from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraCore5XenQuickstart on Fedora Core
5 Test 2.
in my grub.conf I added init 3, but each time it reboots my machine.
So i followed the rest of the tutorial in init 5.
I have even replace all sda1 by hda1 when applicable since my fdisk -l is
[root@goorah ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders

/dev/hda1 * 132 4870 38066017+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 1 131 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Otherwise I did (i think) everything.
If I do xm create -c fedora-guest1, It will end each time with:
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/proc/mounts' for reading
(No such file or directory)

do it have to do with the replacement of sda1 with hda1 ?
by the way

xen for x86_64 in FC5
by Axel Thimm
Hi,
a couple of days ago Jeremy mentioned that xen for x86_64 may or may
not make it into FC5. Given that the freeze for FC5t3 is on Monday, is
there yet any chance for x86_64 support in FC5? If it doesn't make it
to the release, would it be offered as an update to FC5?
Thanks!

Howto build the different guest OS???
by Danny_Trinh＠Dell.com
Hello group,
I have tested FC5 test 2 and xen. All ran very good. I want to take a
further test that runs on a different OS guest (i.e. running FC4 guest
OS on FC5 test2 hypervisor), but I didn't know howto build the guest OS
yet.
Can you guys show me how? Or can you point me to somw urls that have
some instructions/hints/howto build the OS guests?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best regards,

cman,dlm and xen guest
by Shashin Shinde
Hello Friday ,
Using FC5 Test2 I have setup xen to run with 3 guests , also FC5 Test2.
I would like to test and install Cluster Suite/GFS in my guests.
At present there are no cman-kernel-xen-* , dlm-kernel-xen-*
rpms available. Any ideas where I can get them if someone has
built them already ?
If not , may I have some simple set of instructions or howto to build them
for my testing purposes ?
Thanks for any help.
Regards ,
Shashin Shinde.

Hang when starting xenU using riel's packages
by Yip Wai Peng
Hi all,
I am using kernel-xenU, kernel-xen0, and xen-3 from
http://people.redhat.com/~riel/xen_for_fc4/. xen0 boots up fine, but when I
start xenU, it hangs at the below screen. I have already moved /lib/tls out
of the way.
---------

My xen config file is as follows:

nics = 1

2) Does the mac error matters? Why is it there in the first place?
I would appreciate any help given. Thanks!
