Hi Akio,
Thank you for your information. I am using the CSet34705 which should be latest, and do you mean I should apply Aron's patches on it. right? In addition, what's status about it?

Hi Aron,
Could you share me the current status for fedora-xen-ia64? Through your mails, I see we should focus our efforts on linux-2.6-xen-fedora. But when I applied the patch 199684 on it, conflicts occurs. Do you have any suggestion for contributing to Fedora ?
Thanks & Best Regards

I'm sorry, I know that it's confusing. There are multiple ways to
work on the kernel tree. I'll try to provide some steps below.

That's essentially correct. The tree above is used to generate the
linux-2.6-xen.patch which is used in the Fedora rpm. If we make that
tree work with the Fedora ia64 config, and the Fedora xen-ia64 config,
then everything should work well.
Here is another approach, though, which moves us closer to the final
product. The Fedora kernel cvs tree is available via instructions
from http://people.redhat.com/davej/
I took that tree and imported it to mercurial. The result is
http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/kernel-cvs/
Next I cloned that tree, added the bugzilla 199684 patch (which
includes your work), plus the minor kernel-2.6.spec modifications and
created another mercurial tree which is
http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/kernel-cvs-ia64/
So the final result is that you can:
hg clone http://free.linux.hp.com/~agriffis/kernel-cvs-ia64/
cd kernel-cvs-ia64/devel
make ia64
This will build an ia64 kernel and attempt to build a xen kernel.
Watch it break, figure it out, contribute to the patch, send back
a diff!
I hope that helps. Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Aron

Hi Akio,
Is this merge based on linux-2.6.18-rc2?
When I diff linux-2.6-xen-fedora with linux-2.6.18-rc2,
There are some modifications which are not marked by #ifdef CONFIG_XEN
Thanks,
Anthony

Problem installing a Domu instance with lastest FC5 kernel
by Nick
Hi,
I have searched the mailist archives, and i have not found anything that
directly addresses this issue.
I'm using a Dell 360 workstation with 1 Gig of Ram.
I have installed successfully the Domain_0 kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xen0,
upgraded all packages and restarted the box with this new kernel.
when I run xm list, it shows this domain running happily.
I have built a guest OS install tree, with the new guest Domain_u kernel
image, appropriate for this latest kernel. This tree exists on a separate
server, and not on the intended xen server.
I then type the following:
/usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py
What is the name of your virtual machine? nick
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /vmmachines/nick
How large would you like the disk to be (in gigabytes)? 5
What is the install location? http://xxx.xxx.8.193:8000
I have reduced the amount of memory used by Domain_0 to allow for this
256meg Guest.
I get this error message after typing in the networking details during the
install.
loader received SIGSEGV!. Backtrace:
[0x8049865]
[0x8047420]
[0x8063ca0]

install exited abnormally

sending kill signals...done

Does anyone have any suggestions on this one?
Thanks in advance

Xen high memory usage/X programs running poorly
by Paul Traylor
'xm top' shows Dom0 to be using 2846916k of memory (about 90.5 %)
'free -k' shows Dom0 to be using 447192k of memory
'uname -r' shows 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xen0
X programs running over ssh are extremely slow (such as
http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/ and http://xenman.sourceforge.net/)
to the point where they are mostly unusable. When using the non-xen
kernel, X programs seem to run fine over ssh.
I did a standard install of FC5. I changed the size of / to 20gb so
that I could create other LV for the domUs. I installed the basic
webserver package to start off with. I installed http://webmin.com/ to
make it easier to configure the iptables, and switched ssh to use a
different port. I then ran 'yum update' and disabled SELinux by editing
/etc/selinux/config and setting SELINUX=disabled. Lastly, I set
'DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-xen0' in /etc/sysconfig/kernel
and installed the xen kernel with 'yum install kernel-xen0' as directed
by http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 and rebooted.
Am I missing something that is causing memory usage to be so high and
causing X programs to run so poorly?

FC 5 Xen 3.0.2 Dom0 Network Problem
by Adam Kupsta
Hi Everyone,
I'm having some issues with FC5/XEN and network functionality in dom0.
Here's what I did:
- Installed FC5 off the DVD iso available from the Redhat site; (did a
vanilla server install - no X, added dev tools)
- Setup my eth0 interface. I can access network / internet no probs.
- I did a 'yum update' to get all latest patches. Installed, no probs.
(updates current as of 7/21/06)
- I did a 'yum install kernel-xen0' as per the FC XEN HowTo. Installed
no probs.
Rebooted into the xen0 kernel and I discovered that I can't ping or
access any network outside the system itself. I can ping the IP I
assigned to eth0 but all other pings are being returned as" ". This
tells me that there's some sort of routing / firewall issue, however I
have SELINUX and the firewall both disabled in Linux.
I Googled for a solution and ensured that both the IPROUTE and BRIDGING
packages are installed.
Here's something I did find. If I stop the network-bridge script
(/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop) networking returns. I know I'll
need the bridge interface up for what I need this box to do.
Please help.
Thanks for your assistance,
Adam.
