Hanssen <terje@nordland-teknikk.no> 2010-11-16 13:54:54 UTC --- I've upgraded to Factory package level and came a step further. vm-install did start, but ran into issues on both attempts as follows: 1. First, tried to create a vm from an existing installed openSUSE 11.3 on hard disk partition phy:/dev/sda10 Error: No kernel was found 2. Next, tried to install openSUSE 11.3 from DVD installation media source phy:/dev/sr0 onto the hard disk partition phy:/dev/sda10 openSUSE installation program started the DVD disk. Minor issue: during selecting language or keyboard layout, the cursor pointer jumps out and doesn't work the first time, but works the second time Major issue: System Probing stops with an error message: Unable to create repository from URL 'hd:/?device/xvda' Details: Empty distination in URI hd:///?device=/dev/xvda Without knowing what to manually type in, I had to exit the installation Error: No kernel was found 1.

Factory Build 0909 didn't contain kernel-xen. It looks like this was the case for Milestone 4 Build 0908 also.

Added kernel-xen-2.6.37-8.1.x86_64 rpm from Factory instead (2.6.37-rc3).

Tried to create a VM from an existing image (phy:/dev/sda10) and got the same error as before:

# vm-install File descriptor 3 (pipe:[64940]) leaked on pvscan invocation. Parent PID 5169: sh File descriptor 4 (pipe:[64940]) leaked on pvscan invocation. Parent PID 5169: sh ERROR VM creation job failed: No kernel was found. The installation may have failed.

Yes, it is not a vm-install bug but rather an installation source bug. Without the xen kernel in the source, no openSuse Xen PV guests can be created. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I believe all these problems are fixed - most of which were not actually in vm-install. The network problem should be fixed, there was also a 'mount' problem in RC1. Please try RC2 - or better yet, wait for the FCS release which is coming out in a couple days.

Charles, please can you clarify the status of this fix in final distribution? I am afraid, that the bug has not been fixed in the final distribution of 11.4 KDE 64-bit. When I start the install of the domU from 11.4 KDE 64/bit DVD, the installation runs OK until the reboot. After the reboot of the virtual machine console screen disconnects and "Error: No kernel was found" is reported. I repeated this process more times on different 64-bit PC machines, always with the same result. Please can you advice me, whether the patch you sent for os11.4 Milestone 6 is applicable for the final distribution as well? If yes, please can you give me some link to details of the patching process, how to apply it? Thank you in advance for your help. It is frustrating to see so nice and robust system functional in many different details, but not applicable for real life operation, for which xen bugs prevent the configurations for high availability, backup and recovery. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I also installed 11.4 x86_64 and later on clicked in YaST2 on "Hypervisor und Hilfsprogramme installieren" (Install hypervisor and helper programs). I selected Xen (and also had the choice to select kvm). I rebooted into the Xen kernel, and when i now try to run vm-install as root, I get: ask@ewzw032:~> sudo env LC_ALL=C vm-install Error: None "xen-kernel" is installed. To me, it seems the bug isn't fixed.

If there is still a problem, a new bug should be opened with an updated description.
