Package: libvirt-bin Version: 0.4.4-3 Severity: important
First of all, I'm not sure to which package this bug belongs. I noticed the same behaviour using both virt-install and virt-manager, so I think it may be libvirt's fault. I have just upgraded to linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686 (linux-2.6 source package version 2.6.26-8) and wanted to try its new Xen dom0 support on this machine, an Intel QuadCore under which CentOS 5.2 Xen runs fine (both dom0 and domU), but I prefer Debian :-) First, I tried installing CentOS 5.2 as a guest under it, by using the following virt-install command line : $ sudo virt-install --paravirt --name centos --ram 512 --file /dev/vm/centos --nographic --location nfs:192.168.10.133:/install The guest machine was installed fine. It rebooted, the VM started again, I logged into it and everything was fine. Then I did a shutdown inside the machine (using "init 0") and watched the messages from the various services stopping. After that, I was taken to the dom0 console and tried to start the guest again using : $ sudo xm create /etc/xen/centos I received a "Error: Unable to open config file: /etc/xen/centos". Surely, as there was no /etc/xen/centos created during the guest install. There is, however, a file under /var/lib/xend/domains/<dom_id> called config.sxp, which seems to have the guest's config but which is not using the same syntax accepted by Xen's xm command. I repeated the same install using virt-install two times and got the same results. Then I repeated the same install using virt-manager and also got the same results. Also, It's important to say that when using "xm list", the guest machine is listed as if it was a running VM, but with no state indicated in the State column, as can be seen bellow : $ xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 1500 4 r----- 304.1 centos 512 1 28.4 $ The only way to remove the machine and to install it again to repeat the tests was removing the /var/lib/xend/domains/<dom_id> directory, removing the /dev/vm/centos LV and recreating it again. I'm attaching the /var/lib/xend/domains/<dom_id>/config.sxp file for reference. Let me know if you need any other file.
