xen halt

[David Becker]

Xen still reboots rather than halts when dom-0 xenolinux is halted.
This makes the machine unstoppable.

Nope, if you do '/sbin/halt' then the machine should not reboot.

If you're doing a 'poweroff' or 'halt -p', or if somehow your
'/sbin/halt' is configured by default to do one of these things, then
the machine will reboot.

" Nope, if you do '/sbin/halt' then the machine should not reboot.

ah, a halt -f suspends domain 0.  
I need xen to quit without restarting the machine.

I've messed around with the code a bit so that /usr/bin/halt (as
opposed to /sbin/halt) works too, at least under RH9.

Strange thing. I can start "xend start" without any error msgs, but 
when I try to start a domain "xm create vmid=1"  (also tried with turn 
of som functions and checked the /etc/xen/xmdefaults/xmdefaults) it 
halts for a long time and times out.

(110, 'Connection timed out")
Error: Error connecting to xend, is xend runnig?

(and yes, Xend is running - I have the lastest pull)

It seems like xm is not aware of that xend is running, what can the 
conflict be?

This is very odd.

I'm running 1.1084 and it seems to work fine for me.

Have you tried clearing out your old xen tools and libraries
in case there's some strange conflict? 

cp -a /etc/xen /etc/xen.old
rm -rf "/etc/xen /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/xen* /usr/lib/libxc* /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Xc*"

[or make 'uninstall']

Then do a 'make install' and copy/merge back any config files
you've edited.
