Re: [XenPPC] xend start error

[David M Daly <dmdaly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hollis,

Your comment on upgrading kernel with
Xen seems to be the key. I tried Maria's tree for linux and xen tree and
xend start; xm list doesn't give an error message.

Did you recently upgrade Xen? If so, make sure you install a newer
kernel and tools.

Do you see any errors when you run 'dmesg' in Linux?
