Re: AW: [Xen-users] DomU freezes during boot

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like you install RHEL PV DomU at RHEL Dom0.
If this is a case it's possible to survive without xen-tools & rinse :)
supposed to help at Debian Dom0s :-

Insert your CentOS 5 DVD in the drive. Run "df -h" to find out what mount point is.  Suppose, it is /dev/hde

# dd if=/dev/hde of=/etc/xen/disks/CentOS5.iso
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/etc/xen/images/CentOS5.img  bs=1024k count=12000
# mkdir  -p /mnt/tmp
# mount -o loop,ro   /etc/xen/disks/CentOS5.iso    /mnt/tmp

Edit /etc/exports and add the line:-
/mnt/tmp
Restart Service "nfsd"

# virt-install -n CentOS5PV -r 1024  -p  -f /etc/xen/images/CentOS5.img \
      -l   nfs:IP-Dom0:/mnt/tmp

or

1.To install your CentOS 5 DomU , at the command prompt type: virt-install.

2.When asked to install a fully virtualized guest, type: no.
3.Type CentOS5pv for your virtual machine name.
4.Type 1000 for your RAM allocation.
5.Type /etc/xen/images/CentOS5.img for your disk (guest image).
6.Type 12000 for the size of your disk (guest image).
7.Type yes to enable graphics support.
8.Type nfs:<IP address of Dom0>:/mnt/tmp for your install location.
The installation begins. Proceed as normal with the installation

Could you post
1. test4.cfg
2. xm info (at Dom0)

Hi,

I have put that line in to the config file but now it freezes even before it starts to boot the OS. Here is the complete output after running xm create with "extra = 'xencons=tty'" in my config file:

However, an update: I just tried booting it in to different run-levels using the 'extra' command in the config file, and it will boot in to run-level 1 but nothing higher. Still nothing in the log files or anything though.

Cheers,

Andrew

Try to boot with extre='xencons=tty' in config file or xencons=tty in
kernel line when using pygrub.

Betreff: [Xen-users] DomU freezes during boot

Hi,

I am trying to boot a freshly installed DomU (using xen-tools and rinse) 
of CentOS 5 64bit. It starts booting the operating system but it freezes 
every time after starting SSH:

Nothing comes up, it just stops there. I have tried mounting the HDD 
image of the domU on my host to access the log files but there does not 
appear to be anything of use. This is the dmesg log file on the domU:
