Hi all,
I've a couple of old VM-hosting machines (XEN), that I finally wanted to
get up-to-dade, and with the release of leap15, that seemed a good
opportunity.
So, after a fresh installation (no! upgrade), system initially booted
fine, with the default desktop kernel.
However, when I boot with the XEN hypervisor, it crashes beyond anything
I've seen for a long long time.
And I date back to the time of the 1.2 kernels; (and SuSE since 6.3)
Not even REISUB worked anymore, only pulling the powerplug can revive,
but only into desktop-mode
As this 'leap' is pretty young, and things might have slipped through
Q&A, I presumed it would be fixed shortly, hence I reverted to 42.3.
But to my dismay: exactly the same!
I ditched the idea of having full disk encryption, (and no other fancy
stuff installed): still the same.
Having the behavior six** installation times in a row is beyond
coincidence.
** both lead 15.0 and 42.3:
verified sha256 checksum
Installed from thumb-drive
60GB Volume Group
10GB lvm holding root partition
5GB lvm holding swap
server-installation (text-mode) plus following groups: XEN, NW-admin,
Print-server, Mail-server, web-server,Internet-GW, DHCP/DNS-server
Installed with online repo's enabled,
finally zypper lu; zypper up
When was such a XEN set-up working properly? How far do I have to go
back?
Or does one needs nowadays a full KDE/Gnome-desktop to have XEN working?
Kind regards, Hans.
