Xen project Mailing List

I somehow end-up running "xl list" in dom0 and it gives the following results:

    root@localhost:/root/make_test# xl list
    Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs    State    Time(s)
    (null)                                       0   256     1     r-----    8071.1

Looks like the root file system in the above link is just fine :-)

Just have to enable all xen-related features while building linux (e.g., xen-driver-support and xen-network-device-frontend-driver).

Now I am going to run DomU and have a question regarding the following wiki (DomU kernel and DTS section):
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions

(Question) In the configuration file, there is a line:

kernel = "/root/kernel"

I think this one is pointing to some kernel image used for booting and how can I build this image? (for instance, can I use the same kernel source for dom0?)

Also, is there a helpful wiki link that describes manually building domU image?

Sincerely,

Thomas

I'm using the root file system from "http://snapshots.linaro.org/quantal/images/server/" and it lacks a lot of stuffs for running domU.

Are you also using RFS above or another one?

Also, if you have a working RFS that can launch domU, could you post it on wiki?

Thanks always,
Thomas

It's seems the kernel is unable to start when the zImage is loaded at
0x40007000. If you change this address, both in U-Boot and the DTS, by
0x60000000 the kernel is able to start.

I updated wiki page with the new instructions and the new device tree.

Cheers,

Julien
