libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByID while virt-installing rawhide

[Pasi Kärkkäinen]

Hello again!

I'm running Fedora 11 with 2.6.31-rc6 pv_ops Xen dom0 kernel and Xen 3.4.1.
I'm able to succesfully install Fedora 11 and CentOS 5.3 PV guests with
virt-install.

I just tried installing Fedora rawhide (F12) guest with virt-install, and the
installation fails.

# virt-install --debug -n test3vm -r 512 --vcpus=1 -f /dev/vg_dom0test/test3vm
--vnc -p -l
"ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os"

Log of the virt-install output available here:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/virt-install-log-rawhide-on-f11.txt

Basicly it creates the domain, but it fails to start:

# xm list

Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State  Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0   986     2      r-----  595.1
test3vm                                          512     1                0.0

and virt-install gives these errors:

libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByID
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName

Those are printed repeatedly over and over again.. until I cancel the
installation with ctrl+c.

Any ideas how to debug that?

Some more debug info ("xm list --long test3vm" and "xenstore-ls")
available from here:

This message

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:20:40 DEBUG    Launching console callback


shows that virt-install things it is working, and so spawned virt-viewer.

libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByID
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByID

Can you file a bug about this - even though Dom0 kernels aren't in F12,
we have the Xen userspace & libvirt driver present & should make sure
those do actually work.

Include the data from the 2 URLs you have here, and also the xend.log
file

OK. That's good to know. I'll play with it a bit more today.

Maybe I should try updating to newer libvirt/virt-viewer first.

Should I file it against virt-viewer or virt-install/libvirt ?

That'd be a useful data point if you wish to try it.

Hmm.. it seems today I'm getting different error:

http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/virt-install-rawhide-on-f11-debuginfo2.txt
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/virt-install-rawhide-on-f11-debuginfo2-xm...

virt-install output:

Something changed in the latest rawhide kernel? 

# file vmlinuz-PAE 
vmlinuz-PAE: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version
2.6.31-0.162.rc6.git2.fc12.i686, RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x902, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA


Any ideas?

I just tried without virt-install:

# cat test3vm.cfg
name = "test3vm"
uuid = "9cf2267d-9513-b9b7-bcd9-29f2962c7bd6"
maxmem = 512
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
kernel = "/tmp/vmlinuz-PAE"
ramdisk = "/tmp/initrd-PAE.img"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "preserve"
on_crash = "preserve"
vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1" ]
disk = [ "phy:vg_dom0test/test3vm,xvda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:4e:1b:ef:56,bridge=virbr0" ]

# xm create -f test3vm.cfg -c
Using config file "./test3vm.cfg".
Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')

So same error.

# CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is not set
CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA=y

OK, so the problem is the rawhide kernel is LZMA compressed. Wasn't this
changed back to GZIP earlier?

Thanks for pointing that out, see:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=515831

It got disabled on a branch for the F12 Alpha release, but never got
disabled on the devel/ branch. Should be fixed now.

Cheers,
Mark.

Thanks. Now I'll just wait for the next kernel build.. :)

(or try applying the patch Chris sent to support BZIP2 and LZMA for Xen PV bootloader).

Testing Chris's patch would certainly be a good idea. LZMA will come
back again in Fedora 13, so we should make sure to have the patch in
good shape by then

I actually already 'ported' the patch to Xen 3.4.1 and made sure it
compiles OK. I've included it (and extra gcc 4.4.0 compilefix) to this
email, and also sent them to xen-devel.

atm I'm trying to make the patch work/apply with Fedora xen-3.4.1-1 src.rpm ..
and sorting out some fedora/rpm specific compilation failure..

Here's updated patch that actually works. I added it to xen-3.4.1-1.src.rpm
and verified the resulting rpms are able to boot lzma compressed kernels.

It's still not final patch, since the stubdom/pvgrub bzip2/lzma support is
not yet included in this patch (until the proper method for Makefile hacks
is determined upstream).

BZIP2 and LZMA support patch for Xen PV domU bootloader

[Boris Derzhavets]

Could you remind F12 rawhide location on the Net for --location key for virt-install
command line to test on 64-bit .

Thanks.
Boris.

BZIP2 and LZMA support patch for Xen PV domU bootloader

Here's updated patch that actually works. I added it to xen-3.4.1-1.src.rpm
and verified the resulting rpms are able to boot lzma compressed kernels.

It's still not final patch, since the stubdom/pvgrub bzip2/lzma support is
not yet included in this patch (until the proper method for Makefile hacks
is determined upstream).

Do you mean, that you experiencing same issue on 32-bit and patch is supposed
to handle only just startup phase ?

Back to this issue after the LZMA stuff was sorted out :)

You're right.. those errors are coming from virt-viewer:

# virt-viewer foo-bar-non-existing-domain
libvir: Xen error : Domain not found: xenUnifiedDomainLookupByName

Btw there's a typo in the error msg;)


The actual problem seems to be this:

[2009-08-23 20:26:51 1046] INFO (XendDomain:1180) Domain test3vm (9) unpaused.
[2009-08-23 20:26:51 1046] WARNING (XendDomainInfo:1878) Domain has crashed: name=test3vm
id=9.

So the rawhide/F12 kernel crashes immediately.. nothing on the console(s).

Any ideas? I guess this is related to the other known problems with the
2.6.31 kernel as PV domU?
