[opensuse] Xen issues
Hi all, I have installed Xen VM server using Yast to my OpenSUSE 10.2. Then made the Xen kernel as default for GRUB boot. As shown in - http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Install_a_Xen_VM_Server (Din't play with GRUB boot loader file) When I boot to the Xen VM Server, 1. The text messages during boot are larger and wraps to next line in the screen. This doesn't happen with my standard OpenSUSe 10.2 boot. 2. Once loggend in (KDE) my network connections are not working. Did su but networks restart fails saying permission denined?!!?

Normal. The Xen kernel boots first, and then the Dom0 SUSE 10.2 kernel is booted 'on top' of the Xen kernel. This doesn't support framebuffer so you can't use the higher resolutions that the default SUSE kernels use. Purely cosmetic.
2. Once loggend in (KDE) my network connections are not working. Did su but networks restart fails saying permission denined?!!?
Don't use networkmanager with Xen. Xen sets up network bridging, and it doesn't work with networkmanager. Use traditional ifup/ifdown and all should be well. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Make sure you have the same "vga=" line on the kernel or module boot line. I had the same problem - XEN was using 80x25. Try adding either vga=0x317 or vga=0x333. See the bottom of this page for more info on the vga= option: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/BootPrompt-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.4 -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

Hi all, I have loaded Xen VM server on a OpenSUSE 10.2 box and can create a guest VM to install OpenSuse 10.2 ok. But I have some trouble in bringing up a guest VM image that I copied from an existing Suse 10.2/10/9 installation, or even RedHat EL4 installation. I tried the method described in the Xen V3.0 Users' manual to create an image file, mount it, and copy the essential root file systems across. But when I try to start the guest VM, I always get Boot loader didn't return any data It appears that I need some steps to make the copied image bootable. Did try to follow some points on Page 77 to use losetup /dev/loop0 image and use grub> setup (hd0), but it complains File not found. So look like some steps are missing here. Anyone has some success or any idea about this? Thanks. Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
