any chance to someone build a rpm with dom0 available for testing ?
I am trying to create one, but without success yet.
I have an 2.6.29-rc3-tip kernel with dom0 support, it now can boot using xen-3.3.gz, but immediatelly after boot my fonts are gone. I don't know what to do without console. My cursor is sometimes moving, just I can't control it (may be console and keyboard are not working). Can somebody help me, what I am doing wrong? My last functional compiled kernel was 1.3.XX and it is some years ago. :)
I am not convinced that dom0 support is really stable enough to do that yet, because some key aspects are broken such as some hard disk support, and the code is still rather a moving target which doesn't always build.
Right.
When trying to compile 2.6.29-rc3+xen, I need to turn off xen*frontentds and xen*backend drivers have to be compiled into kernel, not as modules. After this I have a functional kernel, but after booting with xen-3.3.gz, my screen is blank.
I haven't gotten the pv_ops dom0 kernel VGA text console to work at all yet..
I've been using serial console.
I guess fixing the console would be the next thing to do after disk problems are fixed:)
