due to ongoing instabilities with Xen on a Raspberry Pi (seemingly random crashes where I couldn't figure out the cause yet, I suspect networking as the root cause), I am switching to a low-powered x64 platform (APU 4D4 with GX-412TC CPU). I already have the same hardware running very stably for a couple of years with Xen for a different purpose.
I now have installed Debian Trixie as a Dom0 on the hardware, and then went through the usual hoops to install Xen on the system, which seems to be running running fine so far.
Then I tried to install a Debian DomU. It seems that things have gotten more complicated than I am used to:
- The xen-tools package with the handy create-xen-image tool is not available for Trixie. Ok, install a Debian HVM instead.
- Starting a HVM DomU with networking is not possible without manually installing ipxe-qemu package (bug 1120146 which already has been fixed, but is not in the current release yet [1]).
Hi Paul,
it serms you try to install Debian linux as (full virt /qemu) HVM DomU which is probably the least efficient mode to run linux and probably no one does with linux.
pls take a look at Xen mode „pvh“ which is much more lightweight and performant as directly supported by debian out if the box.
I never used xen-create-image - just use a debian cloud image to boot the DomU directly from. you may adapt the „root“ parameter to boot from the image device.
networking etc. works out of the box as well.
one possible process is described here:
hth, good luck,
