[Xen-users] 2 problems : installing Xen on Debian and running Xen on Ubuntu 7.10

[<gthiery@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In fact I have two problems :
I'm working on a project that will consist on virtualizing server in order
to rent them. For the moment I'm trying to install Xen on my computer for
testing purpose and here are the two problems I have :

- As the server I will be working on will be on Debian Etch I have
installed on my computer the same distribution and tried to have Xen
working on it. The kernel is 2.6.18-5 and I've tried 3 methods : acuiqring
the packets through apt, installing with binaries or compiling from the
sources but I have the same problem : When I want to reboot my computer on
Xen kernel I have all the writing made by the Xen addition but at the end
it stops a few seconds and thenreboot. I even cannot stop rebooting by
using the noreboot directive in Grub


- I have then tried to install Xen on my laptop with is on Ubuntu 7.10
using apt. Here no problem while booting on the Xen kernel wich is
2.6.22-14. I can create a new DomU using xen-create-image but when I launch
it using xm create -c domName I have the writings of the launching, and it
freezes after a line about the ext3 filesystem (I don't remember but I will
be able to send it to you as you want). If I launch the xm list command I
have my DomU with the state running. I can't even connect to the DomU by
ssh but it is perhaps my fault because I can't see it through the network
interfaces, in fact I see vif0.0, vif 2.0 and xenbr0 for example but they
have no IP address...
The most important question is why can't I have the console using the -c
option in xm create or even using xm console ???

I hope someone will be able to give me some clues ???

Best Regards,

Guillaume
