[Xen-users] Full Virtualised DomU Hang on Boot

[<peter.chiu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

 

I am trying to make a currently running Red Hat Enterprise AS3 32-bit system as a guest OS to an OpenSuse 11.2(86-64) Dom0.

 

When the guest os is started up,  from the vncviewer :5900 display, it  gets as far as

 

  Booting ‘Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-57-Elsmp)’

 

root (hd0,1)

 Fileysystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-57.ELsmp ro root=/dev/sda2

  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x14d31e]

initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-57.ELsmp.img

 

and then it goes no further.

 

It does not crash or reports errors,  just not going any further.

 

I have looked around in the xen-users archive, but don’t think there is a similar problem reported.

 

I would appreciate for advice from anyone on this.

 

Below are the details.

 

Dom0: DELL 710 Server, OpenSuse 11.2 (86-64) with kernel 2.6.31.8-0.1-xen, xen 3.4.1_19718_04-2.1.x86_64.

              2 x E5540 Intel Xeon Quadcore, 48GB RAM.  – hostname apricot

 

DomU: RH EL AS3 (32-bit) kernel 2.4.21-57.ELsmp

              2 x Intel Xeon 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, OS disk 146GB, root on /dev/sda2 10GB partition.

              hostname ignis
