Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Problems with guest Dom's on Fedora 6: msg#00063

Subject: Problems with guest Dom's on Fedora 6
Hi,

I'm new to Xen. I've been trying unsucessfully to setup an x86_64 guest on my x86_64 Dom0 (both running Fedora Core 6). The dom0 system is a fresh install of FC6 with latest updates applied.

What I have been able to do is run the 'virt-install' utility to create the guest environment, however when the FC6 install finishes on the guest, it says 'rebooting' and then dies i.e. I can't see the guest listed when I do an 'xm list'.

What I've then done is 'xm create -c /etc/xen/fc6_64' (the name of the config created above) which takes my to the pygrub boot screen, then attempts to boot, however I only get as far as 'creating root device' and it stops. Now, when I do an 'xm list' I can see the guest listed but it is in the 'blocked' state. The xend.log file doesn't appear to show any errors, just a whole lot of DEBUG - the last message is 'INFO (XendDomain:370) Domain fc6_64 (1) unpaused'

Now if I try to reboot the guest i.e 'xm reboot fc6_64' things go horribly wrong. The guest console says 'restarting' then drops back to Dom0 command line. When I do 'xm list' I get the error 'Error: Device 51712 not connected' instead of the usual list and xend.log shows the following:
