Debian Testing, Xen 4.4 compiled.
Booting to hypervisor goes well, but
# xl list
xc: error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command interface (2 =
No such file or directory): Internal error
libxl: error: libxl.c:92:libxl_ctx_alloc: cannot open libxc handle: No
such file or directory
cannot init xl context
I find that no xen modules are loaded and /proc/xen is not mounted, so
loaded all xen modules. I find instructions all over the place to mount
/proc/xen... but they never say -how-. mount /proc/xen doesn't work.

You are not running 'xenstored' or 'oxenstored'. Your init scripts
should have run that - did you made sure they were setup in the right
init level?

Yeah, all of this sounds very much like xencommons isn't being run (it
does the mount and starts xenstored IIRC).
Merc, what guide/docs are you following to build/install Xen from
source? It seems like they are incomplete.

You are not running 'xenstored' or 'oxenstored'. Your init scripts
should have run that - did you made sure they were setup in the right
init level?
I don't know what is or isn't supposed to be started or when. (No
documentation) To be honest I was surprised when the install actually
set up grub to add the hypervisor boot, but nothing else has been
done. In fact it actually -deleted- my <domain>.cfg files which I've
worked for weeks on. I've tried to recostruct them from notes. But I
can't start them now.
There is no 'xenstored' or 'oxenstored' in /etc/init.d. The only
scripts there are xen, xencommons, xendomains, and xen-watchdog. Of
those, the only ones enabled are xen and xendomains. This is the
xen-4.4.0 source.
I tried putting all the modules which are in xencommons, into
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, update-ramfs -u, and rebooting, but no
change.

Probably missing to run :
update-rc.d xencommons defaults
update-rc.d xendomains defaults
Perhaps also missing is to run ldconfig which could become the next hurdle,
because the system will not find the installed xen libraries

Merc, what guide/docs are you following to build/install Xen from
source? It seems like they are incomplete.
The only thing available is the README and wiki here:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source
Every wiki article I've followed so far has many things missing and out
of date. Almost all the articles on The Internets are way out of date,
so it's hazardous using those. Half the job is translating wiki
articles to current Debian. For example at
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source#Post-Installation:
# update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
update-rc.d: error: initscript does not exist: /etc/init.d/xend
# update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 3 4 5) of script
`xendomains' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 5).
I don't know how serious this is nor what to do about it. And my whole
path is littered with this sort of issues. I'm building on shards of
problems, and I'm not confident in anything. When you follow carefully
but then lose confidence in the reference docs for a complex set of
software, you start doubting everything it says, increasing time it
takes to do this by 10x. Things that seem obvious to those inured, are
showstoppers for the rest of us. I'm betting this turns away almost
all new users who just don't bother or aren't tenacious.
I know that some here will ask that I sod off, but every problem I've
encountered so far appears to be a bug. It could be argued that they
-are- bugs when they prevent a user from getting it running. I know
you guys are working hard at it and there's alot of development, but
I've spent 2 weeks so far sorting out show-stopping problems, many of
which could be avoided with updated ref materials. I've offered to
help with docs, but I am presently in an emergency situation trying to
get my domains running again and VGA forwarding working, and after that
I have days of work to get production going again.
For example, the VGA problem I can only infer, as always; After a week
of struggle, I heard that qemu-xen-traditional was "removed from Debian
a long time ago". Yet VGA forwarding doesn't work with qemu-xen, as I
knew it hadn't supported VGA forwarding in the past. I'm guessing and
hoping that Xen-4.4.0 qemu-xen from source -will- support VGA
forwarding but I have no proof of that since I've never had my
questions answered. So I embarked on this switch from Debian packages
(4.3) to compiling source (4.4) and hope that this will give VGA
forwarding.

xencommons is the one you want.
So `# /etc/init.d/xencommons start' to try, and then make that permanent
the way your distro prefers.

Making sure that xencommons starts on boot should be enough.

Thank you. So do I need to load all or any of the modules in initramfs
or modprobe.d/modules?

And it turns out that going to Xen 4.4 source was not the right idea.
Still no VGA passthru.
# xl create /etc/xen/hex.cfg
Parsing config from /etc/xen/hex.cfg
libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:1371:device_model_spawn_outcome: domain 18
device model: spawn failed (rc=-3)

... And in /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-hex.log:
qemu-system-i386: -gfx_passthru: invalid option
It shouldn't be trying qemu-system-i386 because it's a 64bit Debian.
But where to fix it is a mystery. So I am at a loss.

Note that removal of xen qemu-traditional from Debian is purely Debian's decision.
Other distros ship qemu-traditional.

No doubt. But very few -know- that traditional does not ship with
Debian. Hell, very few know that traditional was needed for VGA
passthrough. And the irc channel has little but questions.
Other distros ship qemu-traditional.
Are you saying that qemu-xen 4.4 does not have VGA passthru support?
Meaning that I should use qemu-xen-traditional?
I've just discovered that xen-tools does not ship with the 4.4 source
package. I'm missing xen-create-image and friends. This isn't
menioned anywhere. Maybe this is because they're not promulgated by
the Xen project? Wonder what else I'm missing. My two front teef?
Sure these are User questions. But they'll be asked over and over in
-users until someone has time to work on docs. I ask here for the good
of Xen. Otherwise you'll never know where the problems are.

I can understand you're frustrated. Hopefully you can contribute to the wiki/docs when you get this working?
IRC channel does have action, but now always, obviously. And it depends on your timezone aswell..

qemu-upstream does not (yet) have support for VGA/GPU passthru,
so qemu-upstream in Xen 4.4 does not have VGA/GPU passthru support.
(Except you can passthru for example some AMD GPUs as secondary GPUs without the need for special VGA passthru support).
VGA/GPU passthru for upstream qemu is currently being developed/upstreamed by Intel developers,
you can see/find the patches on xen-devel archives. It has been discussed recently (last week or so).

xen-tools is a thirdparty package. It has never been part of Xen hypervisor.

Yep. Please help improving the docs!

No, I don't think you need to do that.
