I've had Xen running on openSUSE 11.0 on x8_64 with no problems. Perhaps you
I would love to hear the recipe for this. Especially if it doesn't consist of: * Use one or a few plain sata disks, no raid, hardware or software. * Install the full default desktop system, or any gui at all. * Use one or more gui utils to set up xen and the domU's. * Use the real system console. (vs serial console or telnet/ssh) Even in that case, I guess _any_ known working example recipe would be good. However simple and dumb the procedure ("I clicked Xen, I clicked Yes...") I could at least go through the same motions on a test box and then examin the hopefully working result and from there progress to my desired more useful installation instead of trying to go from 0 to 100 in on step like I've been trying.
have some unusual hardware what requires this with the Xen kernel though. Empty /bin I've never seen before - and this should not have anything to do with Xen itself. If /bin is empty then it's a filesystem issue, and you should look at it from that point. Did /bin reappear as expected when booting the default kernel? Is /bin a separate (network?) mount?
All that happened, obviously, was that he was dropped into the emergency shell in the ramdisk. /bin was not necessarily empty, he just never got as far as mounting the root filesystem, so all he had was the minimal /bin and minimal everything else in the initrd. But his other comments made me feel that the type, quantity, and quality of digging in and debugging required to diagnose and correct that issue would not be fun and interesting for him, and therefor no joy at all to try to help out with. -- Brian K.
