2008年6月2日 7:57Hello
I am using RC1. is CentOS 5.1 now fully supported? i want to move my linux physical server to a virtual machine and i have heard some talks on these forums in the past that they have had CentOS problems. I will be using the x86 edition.

2008年6月2日 19:01I am using CentOS 5.1 i386 with the integration components.
This site was helpful: http://jehupc.exblog.jp/
although I used the latest kernel-xen available via yum, 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5xen. You may need to manually edit /boot/grub/grub.conf if you use the newer kernel, changing /x2v-32.gz to /x2v-pae.gz.
I've also tried OpenSUSE 11.0 RC1 (i586) with no luck: the included Xen kernel (2.6.25.4) will not boot properly, claiming that there is a problem with transitioning to ACPI shortly after loading the kernel. -

Hi mwheeler0,
im trying to get centos 5.1 (nor cent os 5.2) to run, i have tried new xen kernels, also older one as per the Japanese site (kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.el5.i686.rpm) and it just hangs on "INIT: version 2.86 booting"... it doesnt crash as i can see the cursor flashing but it doesnt do anything.
I have been running hyper V RC1 and also the recent RTM but same problem on all.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,

Did you install the hypercall adapter using ./setup.pl x2v /boot/grub/grub.conf? Also, is the right menu entry being chosen at system boot? I've had to manually set the default in grub.conf every time.
I've upgraded to Hyper-V RTM and CentOS 5.2 i386, and am now running 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen with the RC2 integration components.
This is my grub.conf entry:
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /x2v-pae.gz
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe hdc=noprobe hdd=noprobe

Hi, not sure what i changed but now it works! I installed from the DVD (rather than net install), installed the xen kernel and then it worked. One question though, i boot with the pae xen kernel and not the pv2 kernel as per miwheeler0's advice... what is pae and what is the difference?
Please see complete steps below:1) install cent os 5.2 from dvd, i updated the system also with yum # yum clean all # yum makecache # yum clean all # yum clean metadata # yum update 2) install xen kernel and drivers # yum install kernel-xen # mkdir /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/ # cp /mnt/cdrom/* /opt/linux_ic/ -r # /opt/linux_ic/setup.pl x2v /boot/grub/grub.conf 3) manually edit /boot/grub/grub.conf so it looks like this #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /x2v-pae.gz module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 module /initrd-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen.img 4) install development tools # yum install gcc kernel-xen-devel 5) reboot machine # reboot 6) next time it boots install the drivers # /opt/linux_ic/setup.pl drivers

Would be nice to get debian running also :)

2008年7月10日 17:40Chris--
Thanks for such detailed documentation. I followed it for my CentOS x86_64 installation, and changed grub.conf so the kernel line is
kernel /x2v-64.gz
Instead of
kernel /x2v-pae.gz
I successfully installed the xen kernel, the development tools, and the drivers.
On reboot, the system hangs at the last of the following four lines
Initializing X2V shim . . . done
Loading XenLinux . . . done
Loading RAMDISK . . . done
Running XenLinux . . .
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
-
2008年7月10日 22:15you want x2v-64.gz for x86_64...
- 編集済み ieol2 2008年7月10日 22:56 I can't read
-
2008年7月10日 22:22Thanks, but your suggestion (x2v-64.gz) is the same as the one I already used.
-
2008年7月11日 9:25Hi Chris, from memory the linux integration readme lists an additional step for 64 bit systems doesnt it? Did you try 32 bit?
-
2008年7月11日 19:59About a month ago, I installed SLES 10 SP1 x86_64. The kernel had to be manually rebuilt using the included patch. There are patches for x2v-x32-rhel, x2v-x64-rhel,and x2v-x64-sles, although no one seems to have needed the RHEL patch for 32-bit CentOS 5.1 or 5.2.
If the patch won't apply / doesn't help on the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 kernel source, you could try building a kernel using older SLES or RHEL SRPMs.- 編集済み ieol2 2008年7月11日 20:00 A reason is required between 4 and 255 characters.

2009年1月15日 7:06I have had some success (mostly with time sync testing on RHEL 5.2 xen builds) using the following kernel boot cfg:
module /vmlinuz-2.6.... clock=pit
This seems to keep the time relativly constant in between ntpd syncs. -
2009年2月17日 9:23Any success with this? I am getting the same, after reboot stuck at "Running XenLinux..."

2009年2月18日 14:28John,
It could be a couple of things.
1) module paths are also relative to /boot/. the scripts often leave /boot/ in. check that the files exist!
2) acpi=no or other kernel flags. Check that these are off for the most part.
obviously make copies so you can test multiple boot menu items or boot back into "safe mode".
