funny, how so many of us are having trouble with this documentation, ive got a kernel and all built, but i fear same as you somethings not right with the grub config

Hey Boris!
I am using your configuration file to install xen4.0.1 from scratch. Thanks! Could you please also send me the grub entry (or the file that you made for the xen boot in the /etc/grub.d/ directory). I just want to confirm that it is the same as the original tutorial.
Also, did you change anything else from the steps given below (from the original mail by Thiago) while installing your version:
-----
The procedure:
1- Install all the packages:
aptitude update aptitude install bridge-utils build-essential libncurses5-dev dpkg-dev debhelper fakeroot uuid-dev iasl texinfo git-core
apt-get build-dep xen-3.3 2- Download, compile and install Xen and its tools:
cd /usr/src wget http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.1/xen-4.0.1.tar.gz tar xf xen-4.0.1.tar.gz cd xen-4.0.1
make xen make tools make stubdom make install-xen # make install-tools make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG= make install-stubdom 3- Download, compile and install Linux from the Jemery's tree:
make prep-kernels
wget http://livexen01.worldweb.com.br/linux-config-2.6.23.18-xen-4.0.1-1-tcmc-10.08-1 -O build-linux-2.6-pvops_x86_64/.config
cd build-linux-2.6-pvops_x86_64 make menuconfig # Change whatever you want, if you now what you're doing... make chmod g-s /usr/src/ -R make deb-pkg dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.32.18-tcmc-10.08-1-xen_2.6.32.18-tcmc-10.08-1-xen-*.deb
depmod 2.6.32.18-tcmc-10.08-1-xen update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32.18-tcmc-10.08-1-xen 4- Enable Xen at boot: update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20
5- Configure the Grub2:
vim /etc/grub.d/40_custom
---- cut here ----
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the ‘exec tail’ line above.
menuentry 'Xen 4.0.1, Ubuntu 10.4 kernel 2.6.32.18' {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,4)'
multiboot (hd0,4)/boot/xen-4.0.1.gz dummy=dummy dom0_mem=832M
module (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.18-tcmc-10.08-1-xen dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda4 i915.modeset=0 earlyprintk=xen ro

NOTE.: Pay attention to you root partition and also you'll need to
disable the KMS (maybe the nomodeset option works for you) of your
videoboard.
update-grub
reboot
Choose the right Grub2 menu entry...

There is no "/proc/xen" either!
What do you all recommend? Should I use a different kernel (if so which one) or a different .config file?
Can I fix the present set up in some way?
I find it amusing that I am learning stuff about the internal setup of Xen that I wouldn't have had this install been "seamless"...
Cheers to that!

That's a core issue , why xend fails to start. During pvops Dom0 load "udevd" should create :- # ls -l /dev/xen
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 10, 58 Sep 16 18:41 evtchn
crw------- 1 root root 10, 57 Sep 16 18:41 gntdev
On any system Ubuntu 10.04.1 Server, F13,F14,etc
Then xend will start after Dom0 gets loaded.
Boris.

Do you have xenfs mounted?
see if the following line comes up in the list if you type mount:
# mount
...
xenfs on /proc/xen type xenfs (rw)
...
If not, then you can try mounting it manually. If xenfs is compiled as
a module, you may have to modprobe it first. If it is not enabled in
your
kernel, then you have to rebuild your dom0 kernel, and enable it.
On my (Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 based) system, this gets mounted
automatically
by either udev or xend itself (it is not in fstab).
In my experience on this system, xend fails ususually due to one of the
following reasons:
1) Failure to mount
xenfs (because it is not configured, or the module
is
not loaded).
2) Inconsistent installation of xentools (in wrong python directory or
mixed with older version).
Regards,
Mark.
