RE: Help booting Xen under RHEL6 beta2

[Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com>]

OK, so here's another interesting piece of information:

The xend.log python error trace ends with:

  xs_handle = xen.lowlevel.xs.xs()
Error: (111, 'Connection refused')

So I rebooted (with xend disabled), manually started xenstored,
and ensured xenstored is indeed running with ps -ef.
Then I tried "xenstore-ls" and all I get is:

tool = ""
 xenstored = ""
local = ""

I tried this on a EL5-based distro running a 2.6.18.8-xen
dom0 (with xend disabled on boot) and xenstore-ls gives
me a long list of dom0 related registry entries.

So maybe xenstored is dependent on some distro configuration
that is missing on RHEL6b2?

Thanks,
Dan

P.S. I checked /dev/xen and it does contain evtchn and gntdev
and my kernel config does have CONFIG_XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=y
