Re: [Xen-users] Gentoo on HP DL380 G6
OK - we're rolling :)
Switching to a CentOS-local vncviewer and Xming oin Windows did it -
there was nothing wrong with the Xen config file. It seems to me that
UltraVNC is not able to connect successfully to the Xen guest's vnc.
Also i tried Xmins (no typo) with the CentOS vncviewer, which showed me
the installer screen, but did not forward any key.
Also 100% CPU seem to be OK for the Windows-installer on its first screen.
Windows XP installed smoothly.
Thanks for all the hints and tips.

Centos is running out of the box - that is right!
Also my Gentoo DomU image runs perfectly under Xen, after some
struggling with the network configuration for the four network devices
of the HP.
But now, trying to install a Windows XP or Windows 2000 seems to fail.
I start a config file 'xm create win.config' (appended to this mail).
'xm top' says 100% CPU usage - even after one night.
Trying to connect with a VNC viewer (UltraVNC Viewer) it states:
----
Server closed connection
-The server running as application

i did not install Windows before, because my old HPs (their CPUs) do no
not support the required emulation.
This new HP should:
---- cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx ----
flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts
acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc nonstop_tsc pni

Is there any special trick installing Windows under Xen?

Hi,
i'am trying to build a Gentoo Dom0-kernel booting a HP DL380 G6.
Has anyone twiddled a working kernel configuration for this hardware?
i do have the linux-2.6.32-xen-r1 sources checked out by portage and
tried
some configurations.

Red Hat / Centos 5.4 works on a HP DL385 G6 just out of the box. (Both
standard and xen kernels.) I have one here, working fine, but with
distro's kernel + hypervisor, not the latest versions of them.
I'm quite sure that kernel versions older than 2.6.28 doesn't have the
proper driver for disk controllers shipped with HP G6 servers. ( It
works with 2.6.18 on Red Hat because they backport a bunch of things
in order to support major vendors' hardware.
With Debian Lenny, I had to use a custom installation image
(customized by a guy called K-Muto) with newer kernel (>=2.6.28)
backported from testing/unstable. But in that case I'm not running Xen
and I don't know how would I do that. (There aren't backported
packages for Xen on Debian.)
