Goal: trying to get xencenter running to manage my vm's.
- ubuntu 12.04
- custom kernel 3.4.9 built from sources. (folllowing this guide:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Xen_Debian_Wheezy_PCI_Passthrough_Tutorial#Compiling_a_Custom_Linux_Kernel
)
- after that I installed xcp and changed default toolstack (xapi) has
been selected, and works.
now when i start a vm (from xe command, or xencenter the VM won't start.
root@ubuntu:~/src/linux/linux-3.2.32# xe vm-start vm=windows
There was an SR backend failure.

raise Exception, "blktap kernel module not installed: try 'modprobe
blktap'"
Exception: blktap kernel module not installed: try 'modprobe blktap'
next i tried:
modprobe blktap2
FATAL: Module blktap2 not found
modprobe blktap
FATAL: Module blktap not found.
So, where can i get the kernel module from? i installed the following on my
system, but no luck until now. Searched a lot on the Internet, but no
luck...
Any ideas?
