No pcifront in F10?
by Jim Lutz 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I have a virtual machine landscape consisting of a CentOS 5.3 Dom0 with Xen 3.1.2, some PV CentOS DomU's with PCI passthrough (same versions), and I'm trying to implement a F10 DomU with PCI passthrough. I set everything up for the passthrough, and the F10 guest can't see any of the devices with lspci. If I boot a CentOS PV machine with the same PCI passthrough configuration, the devices show up with lspci. I've seen some posts in various places about this issue, but no solutions. How do I implement this?

blktap driver for xen-dom0
by 서지혜 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I installed xen 3.4.1 & M.young's xendom0 kernel on fedora 12 beta. Everying works smoothly for me except that I can't use "tap:aio" for PV guest. It seems that blktap driver is not installed (not supported) on dom0 kernel. I think performance of guest OS is better when is mounted by blktap. Is there anyway I can use this option?

Dom0 kernels
by M A Young 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

I have built a new set of kernel packages based on fedora rawhide kernels and the xen/dom0/hackery branch of Jeremy's git repository ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=summary ). This batch (kernel-2.6.29-0.114.2.6.rc6.fc11) is available via the koji build system at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1149500 These are really for development and debugging purposes only, as I am still having problems getting them to boot, but others have reported more success at getting kernels based on this git repository working, so you might be lucky. Note to install these packages on Fedora 10 you will need to have rpm-4.6.0-1.fc10 installed (currently in updates-testing but it should be available in updates soon) because of the change to SHA-256 file digest hashing in recent Fedora 11 builds.

I've rebuilt your your rpms via xendom0.src.rpm on another F12 instance. Xend starts now, but this is the last what i can see on the screen, before it freeze. I can't get X started when kms is set Boris. --- On Thu, 12/31/09, Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets(a)yahoo.com> wrote: From: Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Fedora-xen] Dom0 kernels To: fedora-xen(a)redhat.com, "M A Young" <m.a.young(a)durham.ac.uk> Date: Thursday, December 31, 2009, 2:07 PM I've tried to load your kernel under Xen 3.4.2 installed via xen-3.4..2.-2.fc13.src.rpm. It installed kms for Radeon HD 4650 ( high resolution on the screen), xend failed to start and screen output got frozen before login prompt. Kernel 2.6.31.6 been built via JF's Git Repo failes with kms for Radeon ( probe error 22) but gets successfully loaded under Xen 3.4.2 providing stable Dom0 on top of F12. Looks like i am missing something trying to work with your rpms.

Where is my /proc/xen ???
by Tommy Schneider 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Hi there I've a little problem, i just switch to Fedora 12, and need a Xen hypervisor. So i enabled Myoung repository and did a "yum install stuff". Everything went fine, instead that i can't start any xen thing, because there's no /proc/xen (from xend daemon to xm shell command) - I've had "none /proc/xen xenfs defaults 0 0" to fstab - Selinux disabled, killed in action, burned etc... - the booted kernel is : 2.6.31.6-1.2.81.xendom0.fc12.x86_64 Does someone knows where i'm wrong ? xenfs don't appears "in color" when i open it with vim, Tommy

Hello again, Xen 3.4.2 was released last week with a lot of updates, so it would be good to sync the Fedora rpm again. -- Pasi
