Hi,
I am using xen 4.1 and kernel 3.3.8 and I try to create domU:
| Code: | sidor@manticore ~ $ cat xenconfigs/win7.xen
builder='/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
vcpus='4'
cpus='4-7'
memory='4096'
on_poweroff='destroy'
on_reboot='restart'
on_crash='destroy'
disk=['phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,w']
cdrom ='/dev/hda'
vif=['bridge=xenbr1,type=ioemu']
boot='c'
acpi=1
apic=1
viridian=1
stdvga=0
vnc=1
vnclisten='0.0.0.0'
vncdisplay=0
vncunused=1
vncpasswd=""
sdl=0
pci=['00:14.0','00:1a.0','00:1b.0','00:1d.0','01:00.0']
sidor@manticore ~ $ sudo xl create xenconfigs/win7.xen
Parsing config file xenconfigs/win7.xen
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:317:libxl__domain_make domain creation fail
cannot make domain: -3
libxl: error: libxl.c:711:libxl_domain_destroy non-existant domain -1
|
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Szymon |

sidor,
I see you're plugging right along here 
Every hvm domu requires a name so after builder='hvm' add name = "whateveryouwant"
I'm a little confused by this:
disk=['phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,w']
cdrom ='/dev/hda'
The error mentions win7 - if is this an already installed win7 disk=['phy:/dev/sda,xvda,w'] and drop boot='c'

BillWho,
haha, you really do help me a lot, thanks! I promise to try to pass on your knowledge once I get this %$#@ to run
I tried to take your advice. For clarity now my config is:
| Code: | sidor@manticore ~ $ cat xenconfigs/win7.xen
builder='/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
name='win'
vcpus='4'
cpus='4-7'
memory='4096'
on_poweroff='destroy'
on_reboot='restart'
on_crash='destroy'
disk=['phy:/dev/sda,xvda,w']
vif=['bridge=xenbr1,type=ioemu']
acpi=1
apic=1
viridian=1
stdvga=0
vnc=1
vnclisten='0.0.0.0'
vncdisplay=0
vncunused=1
vncpasswd=""
sdl=0
pci=['00:14.0','00:1a.0','00:1b.0','00:1d.0','01:00.0'] |
But I still keep getting the same error 
The thing about harddrive, I was confused as well, but I took if from code of somebody who claimed he mad it work |

sidor,
Too bad you can't find the poster for this error http://pastebin.com/9f280hAc. It's the exact same error for what appears to be a bsd installation.
It's been quite a while since I did anything with it. I have a mirror backup of it and was considering restoring it, but since I saw your other post I'm considering reinstalling from those instructions.
If I knew anything I would certainly tell you, but I'm at a loss here with that error 
It's going to be a lot of trial and error - and frustration. What you might want to try is a xen IRC - I think there's one on freenode
One last thing to try is comment everything past the disk setup to try and eliminate the problem.
So just try this - I used xm create -c -n /home/bill/xenloader - I think the c did a syntax check
| Code: | builder='/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
name='win'
vcpus='4'
cpus='4-7'
memory='4096'
on_poweroff='destroy'
on_reboot='restart'
on_crash='destroy'
disk=[ 'phy:/dev/sda,xvda,w' ] |
