 |
|
Hi,
I run amd64 on core 2 duo, ARoss' Xen and Xen-sources-2.6.18 overlay's.
I would like to have Xen to run unmodified OS (Windows, and some other Linuces). I know Linux may be ran Xen-aware, but the goal is to experiment some kernel packaging, so that I need to use the distribution kernel.
I got the FC5 isos.
I made a file "/etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg":
| Quote: |
kernel = "/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
name = "fc5-guest"
vcpus=1
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = ['phy:/dev/sda5,ioemu:hda,w','file:/home/mihamina/downloads/isos/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
device_model ='/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot='d'
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
serial='pty'
ne2000=0

But the problem is about vifX interfaces.
Neither http://fr.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XEN#Windows_XP
nor http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo tells how to bring up such interface.
In fact I dont see anywhere any documentation on how to setup networking for the need of Xen.
When I run Xen, I have:
| Quote: |
asus ~ # xm create fc5-guest.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg".
VNC= 3
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug
scripts not working.
|
bridge-utils is already emerged.
vnc is also emerged with USE="server"
What didi I do wrong? |

First: all the vifs are brought up by the scripts in /etc/xen/scripts. Which ones is decided in the cfg file in "/etc/xen/xenconfig" (If i remember correctly).
Furthermore, maybe u r lacking of
Give it a try 
Update: Did u type /etc/init.d/xend start, dont u? |
