Hi,
3.4.1: http://www.xen.org/download/
Great timing. They managed to do the release just one day after the alpha freeze. Packages are built, but they will not hit the repos until the alpha is done. You can grab them from koji though:
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xen/3.4.1/1.fc12/
enjoy, Gerd

See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/DevelFreezePolicy
You can file a tag request to have it tagged into f12-alpha. I've done a number of these:
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2051 https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2052 https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2053 https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2060 https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/2088
The alpha has been delayed a week now and since problems in the xen package are only going to affect a small number of bleeding edge testers, I don't see why rel-eng would refuse the request.
Cheers, Mark.

Gerd: Would you like to apply some bugfix patches for 3.4.1-2 ?
List of important fixes:
- fix pygrub timeout=0 handling, enable Fedora 11 PV domUs to boot: http://xenbits.xen.org/staging/xen-3.4-testing.hg?rev/7a57911ff09e
- fix qemu-dm memory leak on block/disk IO http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-08/msg00335.html
Nice to have:
- fix qemu problem when stdvga=1 and videoram=16 are specified, starting hvm domain fails http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-08/msg00281.html
- fix stubdoms bridge info parsing, use correct bridge http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-08/msg00393.html

OK.
You can include the userspace pv bootloader bits already.

I believe those are the needed changesets from xen-unstable.
xen.spec needs to have xz-devel and bzip2-devel in the builddeps.

Attached is a patch that backports the bzip2/lzma-stuff from current xen-unstable to xen-3.4.1. Please use this patch instead of the above changesets from xen-unstable (this patch replaces all of them).
It applies cleanly to xen-3.4.1-1 src.rpm (with -p1) and the resulting compiled binaries seem to work. I tried with booting lzma compressed rawhide/F12 kernel.
Still no stubdom/pvgrub bzip2/lzma support though. I'll look more into it tonight.

Hello,
I just noticed something weird.. I upgraded my host to F12/rawhide, so now I'm running everything straight from rawhide, except my custom pv_ops dom0 kernel.
Anyway, it seems the F12/rawhide xen-3.4.1-3 rpms contain pygrub that doesn't support ext4.
# /usr/bin/pygrub --output=/tmp/debug /dev/vg_dom0test/test3vm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 680, in <module> chosencfg = run_grub(file, entry, fs, incfg["args"]) File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 515, in run_grub g = Grub(file, fs) File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 202, in __init__ self.read_config(file, fs) File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 397, in read_config raise RuntimeError, "couldn't find bootloader config file in the image provided." RuntimeError: couldn't find bootloader config file in the image provided.
However, If I do 'rpmbuild --bb xen.spec' for xen-3.4.1-3.fc12.src.rpm and install the rebuilt rpms, pygrub works just fine!
So is there some lib missing from the build requirements or?
Any ideas?

Yeah, it seems I have e2fsprogs-devel installed on my testbox. So that explains the difference.

Xen 3.4.1 Dom0 has been built via xen-3.1.4-4.src.rpm on top of F11 ( yum updated) This failure didn't happen with rc8 (or rc9), not sure. At the same time via my experience xend starts fine on the same 3.4.1 Dom0 (same 2.6.31 kernel) been built on top of F12 rawhide (yum updated). /etc/fstab contains 'xenfs' entry (3.4.1) in both cases and in both cases message /proc/xen is busy comes to console, however on F12 xend starts on F11 doesn't. I believe it makes sense to backport via xen-3.1.4-4.src.rpm CS 20185 plus some other CSs to make patching consistent (i cannot find out which ones) and get an option to remove 'xenfs' entry from /etc/fstab, mounting 'xenfs' at xend start up , what seems to be a default behaviour of the most recent 2.6.31 pvops enabled kernel.

I haven't had problems starting xend on F11, with 2.6.31 pv_ops dom0 kernel..

Mounting xenfs from xend has nothing to do with the kernel. It's a feature of xen-unstable tools, not kernel

Hi,
/etc/fstab contains 'xenfs' entry (3.4.1) in both cases
Hmm, where does that one come from? It should not be there, it is not needed. The xen packages never ever touch /etc/fstab.
mounting 'xenfs' at xend start up , what seems to be a default behaviour of the most recent 2.6.31 pvops enabled kernel.
Both F11 (3.3.x) and F12 (3.4.x) xen packages mount the filesystem automatically. Very early xen packages with pv_ops kernel support didn't do that though, so maybe the /etc/fstab entry was added manually back then and was never deleted?
cheers, Gerd
I removed 'xenfs' entry from /etc/fstab and it brought back to life Xen 3.4.1 (via xen-3.4.1-4.src.rpm) & Libvirt on the first F11 box, and didn't help on the second. I would guess it's xen&pvops unrelated issue on second box.
Thanks. Boris.

Hi,
However, If I do 'rpmbuild --bb xen.spec' for xen-3.4.1-3.fc12.src.rpm and install the rebuilt rpms, pygrub works just fine!
So is there some lib missing from the build requirements or?
e2fsprogs-devel most likely.
Yeah, it seems I have e2fsprogs-devel installed on my testbox. So that explains the difference.
The attached xen.spec patch fixes this issue. Please add it for xen-3.4.1-4.
.. and it's needed to be able to boot F12 Xen PV guests. They use ext4 /boot as a default.
xen-3.4.1-4 rpms from f12/rawhide seem to work OK, booting f12 PV domU with /boot on ext4 works OK.

Actually no, it shouldn't be ia64 only.
See: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-08/msg00276.html

Oh yeah, that'd need backporting to 3.4 first. I guess we can skip this at this point.
