   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.

I'll have a look next week.

Having bzip2+lzma sorted until then would be great,
so I can put that in as well.

Didn't look, was waiting for the stubdom stuff ...

Ok, I'll try to update the package today or tomorrow then and make a one 
more update once the stubdom bits are finally sorted.

OK. 

You can include the userspace pv bootloader bits already.

http://xenbits.xen.org/staging/xen-unstable.hg?rev/a687c4d35fdd
http://xenbits.xen.org/staging/xen-unstable.hg?rev/7dad2e23bf89
http://xenbits.xen.org/staging/xen-unstable.hg?rev/c5125c0ea051

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.

.. but don't wait for the final patch, since I don't know yet how long
it takes to get the stubdom/pvgrub stuff sorted out.

btw 3.4.1-2 and 3.4.1-3 do contain the fix for pygrub timeout=0
handling, so F11 PV domUs/guests will work out-of-the-box.

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?

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.

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.

Xend doesn't start at Xen 3.4.1 Dom(2.6.31 commit ebf47a1fe1aec22756c32fdba3dd94b05d5b8a84) on top of F11

[Boris Derzhavets]

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. 

Boris.

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

[Gerd Hoffmann]

   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.

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

[Boris Derzhavets]

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.

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.

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