[Fedora-xen] some initial trouble

[Michael Weiner]

Xen readers -

Been trying to get xen working on FC6 for some time now, and i am not sure
what i am doing wrong - last time i played with xen it was v2 and didnt seem
to be this difficult to get working. ANyway, thought i would see if there
was a kind soul that could give me some guidance. I have a Fedora Core 6
server running the latest kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5 and xen 3.0.3-6 and i
have a few dom's i grabbed from jailtime.org to play with (i.e. debian-3.1,
centos-4.4, etc). I am specifically trying to get the debian dom running,
here is the config:

kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6xen"
memory = 128
name = "debian.3-1"
vif = ['']
dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = ['file:/xen/debian/debian.3-1.img,hda1,w',
'file:/xen/debian/debian.swap,hda2,w']
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

pretty generic, and when i go to fire it up with 'xen create
debian-3.1.cfg-c' it starts up and runs for a few moments then dies,
leaving the following
in the log file:

Mar 19 11:06:19 monica kernel: xenbr0: port 3(vif11.0) entering disabled
state
Mar 19 11:06:19 monica kernel: device vif11.0 left promiscuous mode

Not really sure what the heck its complaining about. The server i am running
this on has a single network card with a single IP address so i really dont
have spare IPs i can throw at this thing. First thing, what am i doing
wrong? And does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to run this? Or
a good link that i can reference? Just seems v2 was easier to get this to
work without much magic, but i am getting old, and may not be remembering
all the details too well - its been awhile since i have played with it.

Thanks in advance
