Xen on Gutsy

[4nDr3s]

Hello!!

I have some questions about Xen On Gutsy From Repositories How-To (http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-7.10-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories)

I'm running gutsy amd64. If i wanted to install my VM's should i just add, in the xen-tools.conf, the line: arch=amd64??
And in the xen-create-image command should i just change arch option from --arch=i386 to --arch=amd64

In the xen-create-image command what you mean about specifying --ide option? Gutsy detected my harddrive as sda. In that option should i use hda1 for first VM, hda2 for second VM or whatever i want for each VM (like it says on man page)? Or what should go there.


thanks for help.

I'm running gutsy amd64. If i wanted to install my VM's should i just add, in the xen-tools.conf, the line: arch=amd64?? Yes.

This has nothing to do with your real hard disks. Simply use --ide, as shown in the tutorial.

Setting up a debian vm on gutsy (kubuntu) is a mess, at least for me. First of all, during image creation, I get a warning about lib/tls (libc6-xen is installed).
Fun starts, however, when I try to create my vm. I found in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xen-3.1/+bug/144631 and in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605192 that I am "not the only one" and how to fix the bugs. It helped a lot, but now I'm stuck. My vm hangs right after the crond init with
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
I know there is another thread about this issue and missing tty's, but this is not the case for me.
Any ideas?
