Re: [Xen-users] Problem running unmodified SUSE Linux guest on XEN/VT
Hi VDR-Klaus,
i don´t think there is something wrong with suse there,
i´ve installed suse 10.2 hvm and it works,
but i have a amd x2 processor.
Do you plan to xenify vdr :-)
cheers
frank

Subject: [Xen-users] Problem running unmodified SUSE Linux
guest on XEN/VT
I have a PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2,40GHz F1066 CPU
that runs openSUSE 10.2. The VT feature in the BIOS is enabled.
The XEN version is 3.0.3_11774.
uname -a:
Linux tiger 2.6.18.2-34-xen #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC
2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
On this machine I'd like to run SUSE Linux 8.2 and 10.2 as virtual
machines. In an attempt to install a first virtual Linux machine
I did the following:
- create an empty disk image file:
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk2.img count=2048 bs=1M
- create a xen configuration file (named test3):
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
shadow_memory = 8
name = "test3"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/Mirror/xen/disk2.img,ioemu:hda,w',
'phy:/dev/dvd,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot = 'd'
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="192.168.1.5"
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
on_crash='preserve'
- insert the SUSE installation DVD into the DVD drive
- create a VM:
xm create test3
The VM comes up and I can connect to its console with vncviewer.
However, the various versions of SUSE Linux behave in different ways,
none of them working correctly:
* SUSE 8.2:
The initial installation menu comes up and offers "Boot
from Harddisk",
"Installation" etc. If I select "Installation" a popup says
"Starting..."
and "Loading Linux kernel" and the progress bar moves up
until it reaches
100%. Then the VNC screen gets blank and the VM crashes.
The same happens
with other options like "Rescue system".
* SUSE 10.2:
I get some initial BIOS boot messages, like
Plex86/Bochs VGABios current-cvs 28 Nov 2006
...
HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu, ...
ata0 master: QUEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (2048 MBytes)
...
ata1 master: QUEMU CD-ROM ATAPI-4 CD-Rom/DVD-Rom
...
Booting from CD-Rom...
ISOLINUX 3.31 0x45688c0e Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin
Loading...
and nothing further happens. "xm list" gives me
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 2432 2 r----- 1010.0
eagle2 79 512 1 r----- 247.7
Since my server has a VT capable CPU, I would expect to be able to
install and run any OS, without having to modify it.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Klaus
I don't know for sure, but I would try to install in text-mode only. It
may not help, but it certainly won't hurt.

I tried that with the SUSE 8.2 installation, but the result was just the
same.
With SUSE 10.2 I don't even get that far that I could choose the
graphics/text mode.
In the meantime I have successfully installed Windows XP in a virtual
machine. It booted straight out of the ISO image without any problems.
What's wrong with SUSE Linux that it can't boot into a virtual machine?
Klaus
