[Xen-research] Booting Mini-OS

[Charles Gruenwald <charlesg3@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am having a bit of trouble booting Mini-OS. I am using Xen-3.3.1 and
when I build without LWIP, the kernel boots up and then I see the
periodic thread printing out the time. I do not see the full print out
of messages I would expect by looking at the source, My output looks
like the following:

--------------------
Using config file "./domain_config".
Started domain Mini-OS
Failed to read device/vfb/0/backend-id.
Failed to read device/vkbd/0/backend-id.
Failed to read device/pci/0/backend-id.
no backend
Thread "pcifront" exited.
No FS import
Thread "fs-frontend" exited.
Error ENOENT when reading the backend path device/vbd/768/backend
Thread "blkfront" exited.

Thread "kbdfront" exited.

T(s=1235246507 us=124973)
T(s=1235246508 us=124980)
...
----------------------

However, when I link with lwip (using make LWIPDIR=./lwip) and using
lwip version 1.3.0 I only see the following output:

--------------------
Using config file "./domain_config".
Started domain Mini-OS
--------------------

I don't see text that should be printed out according to the sources
like: "Xen Minimal OS!" or the start info in either case.

I am using a pretty basic domain config, as provided below where the
ethernet bridge for the vif parameter works in booting other OSs under
xen.

-------------------
kernel = "mini-os.gz"
memory = 32
name = "Mini-OS"
on_crash = 'preserve'
vif = [ 'bridge=eth3' ]
serial='pty'
-------------------

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
