-----------------------------------------------------------------------


there is this page that tels me how to install
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html and
have found a dstl.dsl for my labtop

i WAS think of following the howto
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21

Thinking of this#


source installed but not complied
as per your howto above

go to the download http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html
do
cd <path to unpacked linux sources> (e.g. /usr/src/linux)
$ bunzip2 -c <path to acpi-patch>/acpi-<version>.diff.bz2 | patch -p1 OR
$ gunzip -c <path to acpi-patch>/acpi-<version>.diff.gz | patch -p1





go back to howto forge page making the source


its only a idea to fix my ACPI problem
which does not let me reboot on my labtop


also not sure if it also effects xen install
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3687&page=2

If you have Xen installed, you can't compile your kernel as described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21 ! If you do it, you'll lose the Xen patches...

[qiu]

thats the thing do i have xen installed?

if you see the last url in the last post I still have a problem
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...?t=3687&page=2

I think it may be better to concentrate on xen rather than other
issues


one of the most confusing things that really got me thinking
was that you told me the start from page 3 again in the
xen howto and I asked should i download the suorce file
again . to which you replied there was no need.

looking inside the xen folder i find directories as folows

I have started from page3 of the howto twice with the same xen 3.0,1 directory and get the same error messages

update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
and
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20

update-rc.d: etc/init.d/xen file does not exist
same for xendomains files does not exist.

[falko]

one of the most confusing things that really got me thinking
was that you told me the start from page 3 again in the
xen howto and I asked should i download the suorce file
again . to which you replied there was no need.
Unless you deleted the Xen sources, there's no need to download them again. Of course, you must know where you saved them.

[qiu]

Falko!

The only folder in usr/src is xen 3.0.1 you can see the ls -la in my last post.

I did the install according to the howto with careful attention to detail however I am
still in a postition with the same error message as you see in my last post.

So I am wondering how to proceed.



qiu:)

ps; I notice that if you download from xen from the link in the howto they seem to have updated the source file to 3.0.2

[falko]

Please do this:
cd /usr/src
rm -fr xen-3.0.1
tar -xvzf xen-3.0.1-src.tgz
cd xen-3.0.1/
make worldand then do all the other steps from page 3.

[qiu]

Tried your suggestion.

I thought this time it took longer to complete and felt iy would work
but same error message as first and second time.

update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
and
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20

update-rc.d: etc/init.d/xen file does not exist
same for xendomains files does not exist.





qiu:rolleyes:

[falko]

Then there must be another problem. I suggest you try the Xen tutorial again from the beginning (the best would be to do it on a freshly-installed Debian), and please make sure you follow it to the letter and don't make any typos.

[qiu]

reinstalled debian forom stratch followed howto to letter same error.

qiu

[falko]

Please make sure you copy & paste the commands from the tutorial. I guess you made a typo somewhere.

[qiu]

hanks for your post.

There comes a time when we have to realistic about this howto.

My last attempt was over a 2.5 hour period from installing from scratch,
a typo has not been made.

I could go ongetting the same error and
it is not a fair soultion at this stage to say it was a typo.


copy and paste is not a option at the moment as I have no web browser
but I did print out the howto and this is what i did its very simple.

apt-get remove
exim4 exim4-base lpr nfs-common portmap pidentd pcmcia-cs pppoe pppoeconf ppp pppconfig
atp-get install
iproute bridge-utils python-twisted gcc-3.3 binutils make libcurl3-dev zlib1g-dev python-dev transfig bzip2 screen ssh debootstrap libncurses5-dev

i have untared xen once and use a copy of this directory xen-3.0.1
each time i needed to placeing it in /usr/src

cd xen-3.0.1/
make world

cd linux-2.6.12-xen0
ARCH=xen
export ARCH
make oldconfig
make menuconfig

place a * in this case y key on keypad
and M
* quota support
M old quota format support
M quota format v2 support
M dummy net driver support
* network packet filtering(replaces ipchains)
M IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)

exit
save

linux-2.6.12-xen0 make
make install

cd into linux-2.6.12-xenU
ARCH=xen
export ARCH
make oldconfig
make menuconfig

same as above but no dummy net driver support
exit
save

cd to linux-2.6.12-xenU make
make install
mv /libtls /lib/tls.disabled

update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
this is where the error message is

I did notice that during the make command of linux-2.6.12-xen0
there was a warning message
drivers/scsi/BusLogic
Abort Logic command defined but not used.

qiu
ps could it be that xen cannot find the path to /etc/init.d?

[falko]

Do you see any errors during make world?

[qiu]

where are the logs for make world?
or do i watch the screen, pretty fast at times


qiu

[falko]

You can redirect the output of make world into a file, like this:
make world > makeworld.log

[qiu]

rm cannot remove tmp-pristine linux 2.6.12/pax_global_header no such file or directory

Auuming that the pastebin looks ok and that the above additions are irrelevent
lets move on now.

[
Since we have just about exhausted the posibilties in the xen-3.0.1 source
package I was looking towards the first option in the xen howto which is
unfortuanatly doing without quota and IP tables.


The ./install command in the updated version now available at xen web site (xen-3.0.2.-2-install this not the source package ) does not create xen0 and
xenU it only creates on single directory xen.

Now I am aware that with the new source package xen-3.0.2-2 in the readme it says that at the make world command you must do like so make world KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU".

my question is at the ./install comand prompt in the xen-3.0.2-2-install is it ok
to issue the command
./install KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0 linux-2.6-xenU". ?

Did you have time to read what was posted in the pastebin?

That's normal; it's only for the Xen documentation. I never install latex, and Xen is working nevertheless.

[qiu]

Falko whats the best way to proceed?

help xen by paste the xend and xendomians files here so I can place then in
/etc/init.d

or?
qiu

[qiu]

Falko,

seems we have come to an end on this one thankyou for your support.
i will do a bug report at xen about my make world.

see if Building A Virtual Server (VPS) With Debian 3.1 (Sarge) And OpenVZ works

[falko]

I would have sent you the Xen init script. the problem is I don't have my Xen system available right now, so I can't post them here.
