Hello All:
I am new to Xen and have been
having some problems getting it running. I had posted on the xen-users list but they recommended that I direct my
questions to this list. So I apologize if this is misdirected. I am just trying
to find a solution to the issue I am having. I have read and followed several
tutorials and tried different fixes for this issue but have had no luck.
Here is my server setup first:
Dual Core – Dual Processor Xeon 5120
2GB RAM
Virtualization support in bios is enabled
CentOS 5.2
No direct console access, only remote access via SSH2
I have used the tutorial located at http://www.howtoforge.com/centos_5.0_xen
Everything works up until I run virt-install
to create the domU. I run virt-install
with the –nographics switch and get the
following
No console available for domain
Domain installation still in
progress. You can reconnect to the console to
complete the installation process.
I
then tried to connect to the console using
Xm console
5
And
I get:
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file
or directory
I
looked at the qemu log in /var/log/xen
And
this is what I see
domid:
5
qemu:
the number of cpus is 1

Could not initialize SDL - exiting
I am however unable to find any information on this error. So
basically I am in need of help in getting a domU
started and running. Can someone please give me some advice,
point me in the right direction etc?
Thanks in advance
Jason
