Hi all,
I have done a simple checking for Xen and VMX on FC5-test2. Basically, I can
create VMX on FC5-test2 IA32. But FC5-test2 IA32e (x86-64) doesn't provide Xen
and Xen0 kernel, so didn't do Xen and VMX testing for it.
Beside of testing Xen and VMX, I also found some issues about installation,
which I have updated the bug #179078 as a NB. The following is the testing
results only for Xen and VMX.
=========================
1. *** IA32E hasn't RPMS about Xen hypervisor and Xen0/XenU kernels. __FAIL__
2. *** In order to boot up IA32 Xen0, I have to add pci=noacpi as the boot
parameters of Xen0 kernel, or system will hang when initial PCI. I don't know
if it is only related to my Machine. __FAIL__
3. After install IA32 Xen RPMs, I can see /boot/grub/grub.conf has been changed
with Xen kernels. __PASS__
4. *** /usr/lib/xen/boot/vmxloader isn't in the RPM package, so VMX Guest
couldn't be created. I suspected build system hasn't bcc, it is from DEV86
package. __FAIL__
5. After copy a useable vmxloader to the destination, IA32 VMX Guest can be
created successfully! __PASS__
6. VMX has good network connection and Xwindows started. __PASS__
7. XenU can be created and works well. __PASS__
8. Couldn't get Xen Changeset by "xm info" or "xm dmesg".
9. The new kernel names of Xen/Xen0/XenU seemed a little confused. E.g. the
Xen0 name is like vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.29_FC5hypervisor. I thought hypervisor is
for Xen.gz. Xen0 is the Service OS.
==========================
Any comments please let me know. But I will have 8 days holiday from tomorrow,
so emails reply might be slow and occasional.
[FYI] We are planning to do more testing for FC5-test3.
