xen 3.2 various issues.

xen 3.2 various issues.

[Guillaume Rousse]

Hello again.

I'm currently testing xen 3.2 package released with mandriva 2008.1. 
However, I can't reuse my existing xen 3.1 HVM or PVM guest, nor install 
new HVM guests...

First, I can't launch any of my ISCSI-stored linux HVM guests. xm create 
return successfully, xm list show a guest without any state, and qemu-dm 
dies immediatly. Of course, vnc server doesn't run neither.

I can't find anything suspicious in the logs: no error message in 
xend.log, and qemu-dm only has:
xs_read(): vncpasswd get error. 
/vm/2a8782f0-638b-41d0-a3bf-1cb2b133735b/vncpasswd.
Could not parse VNC address

Setting an explicit VNC password remove the first message, not the second.

Second, I tried installing a new HVM guest through netboot, but the 
symptoms are the same as previously: qemu-dm fdying immediatly.

Third, I can launch an existing file-stored PVM guest, it boots, but 
halt before init is launched:
EXT2-fs warning (device hda1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem 
as ext2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 172k freed

It feels like something is broken in the package, but I can't find what :/

Are you building Xen as 32bit?  I was having issues with qemu-dm dying after similar VNC password messages logged.  Switching to 32bit PAE builds resolved the qemu-dm crashes.

This was with an xen-unstable post 3.2.  I don't know if 3.2 itself is affected by the same problem.

This happen on a 64 bit host. I don't have any available 32bit host to test.

Strictly speaking, I'm not building xen, rather using official 
distribution packages.

I just updated to 3.2.1, the problem persists.

I'm joining console output, and xend log, when launching a PV host. I'm 
using the same kernel (linux-hg-2.6.18), for dom0 and domU.

xm list show the host is in b state:
[root@baobab xen]# xm list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State 
Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0  7514     4     r----- 
  128.3
test                                         1   512     1     -b---- 
    2.9

According to the process table, xenconsole is apparently the parent of a 
defunt python process.

root      8442  0.0  0.0  20552   636 pts/0    Sl+  12:10   0:00  | 
   \_ /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenconsole 1
root      8443  0.0  0.0      0     0 pts/0    Z+   12:10   0:00  | 
       \_ [python] <defunct>

And strace shows process 8442 hanging on read call:
[root@baobab xen]# strace -f -p 8442
Process 8548 attached with 2 threads - interrupt to quit
[pid  8442] select(7, [0 4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL <unfinished ...>
[pid  8548] read(3,

Any hint or other trace I could attempt ?
