Debian kernels since 3.6 are compressed with XZ and can't be loaded. Support for XZ compression was added in changeset 23002:eb64b8f8eebb somewhere last year. Indeed. Jan this would be a good candidate for a future 4.1.x I think (it was already in 4.2.0). Hmm, I'm not really convinced - we're at 4.1.4 (I'm looking towards an RC2 followed by a release within the next days), and doing a feature addition like this in a .5 stable release looks questionable to me in the context of how we managed stable updates in the past. But I'm open to be outvoted of course... My thinking was that it is a reasonably self contained patch (most of the code is the new files) and without it people won't be able to use 4.1.x with their distro kernels at all, so it's something between a bug fix and a new feature. If distros are going to be backporting it anyway they may as well all get it from us. +1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#657014: [Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#657014: Bug#657014: Wheezy, Squeeze and Ubuntu server 11.10 has missing boot option to Xen
On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 06:26:29PM +0100, Erik Hjelmås wrote: When installing xen-linux-system on a new Dell R810 server, Wheezy, Squeeze and Ubuntu server 11.10 all boot fine when booted directly into the standard kernel, but when booting through Xen (after installing the package xen-linux-system) the boot process hangs as soon as Xen passes control to the Dom0 kernel: Gave up waiting for root device etc and it gives me Busybox, but it is also frozen, so there's no other option that reboot. This might be the same issue as #649923. But please could you provide full console logs so we can verify. If you are able to try the patch in that bug or perhaps a backported 4.1 hypervisor that would also be potentially interesting. its the same behaviour on both squeeze (4.0) and wheezy (4.1) since everything freezes on boot, I dont have any logs other than the attached screenshot at the time it freezes (or is something logged this early in the boot process by Xen? I can reboot without Xen and inspect other logs) Please set up a serial console so you can capture the full boot messages from both Xen hypervisor and dom0 kernel. In your case you can also use the SOL (Serial Over LAN), provided by the iDRAC management processor. http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenSerialConsole After several days of troubleshooting it turns out that adding dom0_mem option (e.g. dom0_mem=8192M) to the multiboot line of /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen FIXES THE PROBLEM ! maybe this has to be fixed in the package? That file is provided by grub, not the hypervisor but I don't think that fix will work since a) really it is a workaround not a fix and b) it is not really possible to determine what is the right number to use for any given system. I agree, my solution is a workaround and not at fix I first suspected that there was a problem with the initramfs so I added the megasas driver to /etc/initramfs/modules and updated initramfs. This resulted in a Cannot allocate memory error (when trying to load the megasas driver) at the same stage in the boot process. And since Busybox is not able to run either, Xen seems to not give any memory available to the Dom0 kernel when it passes control to it in the boot process. Meaning the Dom0 kernel fails immediately since I guess accessing the root devices is one of the first things it tries to do. I will attempt install squeeze and wheezy on a different older server (Dell R900), during the next couple of days to see of the same error pops up, and Ill look for more log data then , I assume you have already installed all the latest BIOS/firmware updates etc? -- Pasi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

On Tue, Sep 06, 2011 at 12:54:32AM +0800, Thomas Goirand wrote: That means 8704 MB of memory is used. Over the last couple of days, I've experienced that when creating two VM's with 512 MB RAM, the oom-killer is invoked. This should not happen because Dom0 can shrink and because the machine should not restart when it is out of memory. This is a production Xen host, which is becomming a liability, because it's so unpredictable. Current Dom0 kernel: Linux arbiter 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 Hi, I wouldn't recommend to just let your dom0 shrink. Set it directly to a much lower memory footprint, something like 512 MB of RAM, so that the Linux kernel sees directly that it doesn't have so much memory to deal with, and it will not allocate too big buffers and so on. Here's how to do this with the Squeeze grub: echo # Start dom0 with less RAM GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT=\dom0_mem=512M\ /etc/default/grub Then either run update-grub2 or dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc (and of course reboot...). If you do that, I'm sure your troubles will go away. You shouldn't be running big software in the dom0 anyway. I always done that because of habits from running older Xen (since 2.0.7), and because I've seen issues with the dom0 ballooning out. To me, ballooning the memory of dom0 is more a desktop feature than for a server. I believe this bug should be closed, because that's not really an issue with Xen (but more with the way the Linux dom0 kernel works). I'll let Bastian decide though.

I'm happy to include other information or try things if you direct me, since my kernel experience is limited. I did wonder if I needed to load a module. Have you enabled VT in the BIOS? Sometimes you need to completely power off the computer (disconnect the power cable) after enabling VT in the BIOS, efore the VT setting gets enabled for real. Also, Xen can run PV guests without VT. Xen needs VT only for HVM guests (aka Windows). KVM needs VT for all guests. -- Pasi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It's a 4GB machine with 960MB allocated to the current (PV) guests. I have only the vaguest idea of what ballooning means (something to do with controlling the memory available to domains?), and no idea why it might be a bad idea or how to turn it off. If any of this is documented anywhere then I must have missed some important piece of documentation! First of all, have you limited the amount of memory dom0 has? in grub.conf, add dom0_mem= parameter for xen.gz. This way dom0 only has the specified amount of memory (512 MB for example), and the rest is available for other domains.. then you don't need to balloon the memory at all when creating more domains/guests. xm info should display the rest of the memory as free after you specify dom0_mem parameter for xen hypervisor. -- Pasi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
