[opensuse-virtual] OpenSuse 11.4 domU hang on boot
Hello Everyone! Been looking around the internet but have not found a solution for my problem yet, all i found was a report on opensuse forums with no replays. I have a Xen dom0 running on OpenSuse 11.4 x86_64, on this I’ve created 3 PV instances all running OpenSuse 11.4 x86_64 as well. All 3 PVs were installed the same way with the same package selection and only ONE of this 3 PVs hangs at booting time just before the login screen should appear. I looked at the log files of the VM, when it hangs and when it boots normally, i copied and compared the logs (boot.msg, messages, ...) but i am not able to find anything substantial. A work around this problem seems to be - destroy VM, start VM, and keep going until eventually the VM starts up correctly. For testing purposes I’ve installed a PV with OpenSuse 11.3 x86_64. This VM runs normally, boots OK every time. Any of you experienced anything like that? Any idea what else i could check? Any info / help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I had the same problem and solved it by increasing the XENDOMAINS_CREATE_USLEEP value in /etc/sysconfig/xendomains of dom0. I set it to 15000000 (15s). On Thu, Sep 01, David Gerbec wrote:

Hi! Thanks for the reply, sadly this didn't resolve the issue for us. I was digging a bit more and found out, that it seems to be a domU kernel related issue. I get the same results with _any_ OpenSuse 11.4 kernel, if i use a OpenSuse 11.3 kernel, the VM starts and works normally. So far, i see this behavior on all OpenSuse 11.4 xen server. Any other ideas what i could try? Regards, David Gerbec On 09/01/2011 11:30 AM, Dieter Bloms wrote:

Hi! Seems like i found the source of my problems. Posting here for future reference... In VM config files i had extra="xencons=tty" added... After removing this kernel parameter all VMs that had random hangs at boot started working correctly. So far, from what i can say, only OpenSuSE 11.4 were affected by this.
