xen on opensuse 10.3 x86_64

xen on opensuse 10.3 x86_64

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi,

I try to get xen running on an hp dl 365 running opensuse 10.3, x86_64. 
I also tried with a SLES 10 sp 1, but there it fails immediately after 
loading the kernel.
Unfortunately the xen version that comes with the distributuion, just 
crashes when you make the server a little more busy, or then later on when 
it comes to filesystem check. Before opening a bug report, I wanted to 
try the latest one. Ok, these xen 3.1.0 rpm's for opensuse on 
xen.xensource.com are only for i686. There is a dependency to
libext2fs2, that I cannot resolve. For libSDL and libcrypto, there are 32bit 
libraries, but I am unable to find a 32bit version of it for opensuse 10.3.
I doubt that I can force the install, and it will work, so any idea where 
could I find the libext2fs2-32bit rpm for opensuse 10.3 x86_64?

kind regards
Sebastian

I also tried the source rpm, but it says it is not for x86_64.

I know that page, and I have installed the rpm 
libext2fs2-1.40.2-6.35.x86_64.rpm, but this one is not providing the 32 bit 
libs, or did I missed sth. else?.

I'm pretty certain these issues will be fixed with the next (date undetermined)
kernel update; if not, please don't hesitate to open a bug report.

I already created a bug report on bugzilla.novell.com on that, should I 
create another one in the xen bugzilla too?

I added a x86_64 to the EXCLUSIVE_ARCHS in the specfile of the source rpm, 
but unfortunately, compilation ended up with the following reason:

RPM build errors:

I don't see an error, therefore I am wondering why this errors out.

No, that's a problem we introduced, nothing inherited from XenSource.

And sorry, I can't say anything on your build problem.

I just tried again using the kernel of the day for opensuse 10.3, but it 
still ends in the same kernel panic when it comes to the filesystem check. 

btw, when installing the xen-kernel of the (Nikolaus) day, the following 
script error occured:

there are only disks on the cciss controller in that machine available, no

Well, I tried to install a ubuntu 7.1 server, and that had the same problem, 
when it comes to the filesystem check, kernel panic. So I am not sure, that 
you on novell have introduced the problem.
