Error: Error creating domain: (13, 'Permission denied')

Error: Error creating domain: (13, 'Permission denied')

[David F Barrera]

I am unable to create a domain on a 2.4.28-xen0 kernel, which I built 
from the latest source file today.  I am able to boot into the xen0 
kernel  and start xend without any apparent problem; however, when I 
attempt to create a domain, I get the following error: Error: Error 
creating domain: (13, 'Permission denied').  Also, when I enter the 
command 'xm list', no domain is listed.  I would have expected to see 
'Domain-0'.  The 'xm dmesg' command shows an error as well: "Error: 
Internal Server Error".

The platform is SuSE Linux 9.0. I downloaded the latest source tar, 
decompressed it and did a 'make world ' and  ran install.sh in /dist.

Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

David Barrera

Please post the output of /var/log/xend.log

Also, are you sure you're using tools and kernel from the same repo?

Yes. I actually deleted the entire xen-2.0 directory and the all the xen 
related files in /boot before I rebuilt. Also, I had done a 'make 
uninstall' before deleting the original xen-2.0 directory.

So this error seems to only be possible due to: 

  - a version mismatch between the user-space tools and the version
    of xen actually running, or 
 
  - a failure to access the privcmd interface in dom0 

In the former case, you should see something in /var/log/xend-debug.log 
(like "Dom0 operation failed - need to rebuild the user-space tool set?") 

In the latter case, it would probably mean you were running xend as non-root. 

Do either of these seem plausible? 

cheers,

S.

[David F Barrera]

Steven,

Thanks for the reply.  I did a 'make install-tools', and the problems 
has gone away. Obviously, there was a mismatch between the user space 
tools and the version of xen running.  I am wondering why 'make world' 
did not do this automatically when I first built this version of Xen.

You need to do:
 make world
 make install

make world only installs to the 'dist' directory.
