/var/log/boot.msg of paravirtual 11.2 Xen VM on 11.1 Host

Description Jared Hudson 2009-10-31 17:21:28 UTC
openSuSE 11.1 system is fully up to date. I'm using the openSUSE-DVd-Build0339-x86_64.iso image. vm-install fails saying it couldnt find the kernel. If I attach a console to it, I see that the openSUSE 11.2 RC2 kernel crashes shortly after it starts.

Comment 2 Jared Hudson 2009-11-01 04:46:32 UTC
you can get rid of the initial error by recompiling the kernel to not include DMI (CONFIG_DMI=n and associated settings) but it still crashes near the end, when it says

Comment 3 Jan Beulich 2009-11-02 15:49:54 UTC
And this is *only* when the host is running 11.1?
Comment 4 Jared Hudson 2009-11-02 16:02:29 UTC
I had tried para-virtualized only on openSUSE 11.1 until just now. I've confirmed that the error is the same if I try to install it under a para-virtualized VM in SLES 11 as well.

Fully-virtualized does not work in SLES 10 or 11 either. (bug #551598)
I don't have hardware capable of running fully-virtualized VMs under openSUSE 11.1 so I have not tried that combination yet.
Comment 5 Jan Beulich 2009-11-02 16:11:30 UTC
The question really was towards 11.2 as the host (SLE11 and 11.1 really don't differ in kernel or hypervisor).
Comment 6 Jared Hudson 2009-11-02 16:14:40 UTC
At the moment I dont have any systems available to install openSUSE 11.2rc2 on to see how it performs as a VM under itself as a host.
Comment 7 Jan Beulich 2009-11-02 16:35:30 UTC
What is the second disk you assign to the guest? Physical CD-ROM drive, ISO image, or yet something else?
Comment 8 Jared Hudson 2009-11-02 16:44:14 UTC
ISO image containing the openSUSE 11.2rc2 install or network install image. I'm using virt-manager/vm-install to install the OS.
Comment 13 Jared Hudson 2009-11-04 02:19:11 UTC
@Jan, correct. It fails to even install. the gui/ncurses installer never even starts up. If I'm in vm-install, at the summary screen, I click Ok. VM console window pops up. I see several kernel errors, as pasted above, then the screen disappears. vm-install says, "Error\nNo Kernel was found. The installation may have failed."

It's only by doing a while(true); do xm con opensuse11; done
in dom0 that I was able to see what even went wrong. It flies on and off the screen very fast.

If I pass console=xvc0 I can see that it last said,

Comment 16 Forgotten User EG0D-KeeCG 2009-11-05 00:53:08 UTC
I had the same problem.

By copying the kernel and initrd from the ISO to /tmp/... I could get the installation to start (btw: mouse did not work  in VNC), and finally editing the VM definition file I could get it to boot.

When booting there are lots of the following:
[    2.595222] WARNING: at /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-xen-2.6.31.5/linux-2.6.31/drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c:427
...

(see attaches boot.msg)

Installing as a fully-virtualized VM on OpenSUSE 11.1 Xen host works.
Comment 18 Jan Beulich 2009-11-05 08:00:13 UTC
Fix committed (also for the DMI warnings).
Comment 20 Jared Hudson 2009-11-06 21:21:49 UTC
Will a new ISO be created that fixes my issue?
Comment 21 Jan Beulich 2009-11-11 08:36:45 UTC
Unfortunately this fix wasn't taken for the final release, so the shipped ISO images will remain broken, while the fix will be in an eventual kernel update.
Comment 22 Matthias Pfafferodt 2009-11-11 09:12:41 UTC
I have the same problem trying to install a xen 11.2RC2 under a 11.2RC2 host (2009/11/11). Where will a fixed kernel image be found? (And when?) I installed all updates for the host but I still get the same error.

Comment 23 Jared Hudson 2009-11-11 17:21:39 UTC
If the fix was committed on the 5th, why was it not accepted for the final build?
Comment 24 Jan Beulich 2009-11-12 08:37:06 UTC
Because the release manager decided not to take it.
Comment 25 Matthias Pfafferodt 2009-11-12 15:27:30 UTC
Would it be possible to give an hint where to find a rpm with the fix? (update to 11.2; a special repo?) I would like to install opensuse 11.2 on my server which uses xen.
Comment 26 Jan Beulich 2009-11-12 15:34:32 UTC
Until an official kernel update get released, you might want to look at using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/openSUSE-11.2/.

Comment 28 Charles Arnold 2009-11-17 21:55:39 UTC
You can also use the following work around to install using an ISO file.  Select 'Create Virtual Machine" from the Yast menu or vm-install from the command line or via virt-manager.  The instructions start once you get to the "Summary" screen.

Step 1: From the "Summary" screen, Select "Operating System Installation".
Step 2: From the "Operating System Installation" screen, select "Virtual Disk" and then "Add".
Step 3: From the "Virtual Disk" Screen, select your ISO file.
Step 4: Press "Ok" and "Apply" to return to the "Summary" screen.
Step 5: From the "Summary" screen, select "Disks".
Step 6: From the "Disks" screen highlight the ISO you just added as an installation source and Select "Remove".
Step 7: From the "Disks" screen select "Harddisk".
Step 8: From the "Virtual Disks" screen select your ISO file.  Check the "Read-Only Access" box.
Step 9: Press "Ok" and "Apply" to return to the "Summary" screen.
Step 10: From the "Summary" screen Press "Ok" to start the installation (assuming other settings are correct).

During the installation of the guest, you may see a warning on the "Installation Settings" screen under the "Booting" section that says 'It was not possible to determine the exact order of disks for device map. The order of disks can be changed in "Boot Loader Installation Details"'.  So far, we have not seen any adverse effects from this warning by simply ignoring it.
Comment 29 Udo Attila Fischer 2009-12-02 12:24:30 UTC
Why is this bug marked as RESOLVED?

There is a workaround, but not resolved and still exist in the final release, so what is RESOLVED with resolution FIXED mean? It should be VERIFIED or not?

So under opensuse 11.2 you are not to able install 11.2 para guest... I do not understand the release manager... So xen is not important for opensuse anymore?

Is at least an updated ISO planned, or will everybody have to use this workaround till 11.3 final DVD available?
Comment 30 Jan Beulich 2009-12-02 13:29:20 UTC
(In reply to comment #29)
> Why is this bug marked as RESOLVED?

The bug is technically resolved, but the release manager decided not to incorporate the fix (hence the target milestone "unspecified"). Hence the workaround. At this point there do not seem to be plans remaster the ISO.

Any discussion regarding this decision should probably be had on mailing lists, not in bugzilla.
Comment 31 Marius Tomaschewski 2009-12-31 16:34:37 UTC
It is not only an ISO / vm installation related issue, but the Oopses
occur without any ISO bound to the vm (just a disk file) after the
installation as well.
Comment 32 Marius Tomaschewski 2009-12-31 16:40:44 UTC
Mr Maintenance,
please consider for update. Changed version to final.
Comment 33 Marius Tomaschewski 2009-12-31 16:41:27 UTC
BTW: In my case it is 11.2 on 11.2 host.
Comment 34 Marius Tomaschewski 2009-12-31 17:25:57 UTC
With the 11.2 final kernel I'm getting 
  # dmesg | grep "Call Trace" | wc -l
  119

and the kernel is Tainted after.

The kotd seems to work fine:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/openSUSE-11.2/x86_64/kernel-xen-base-2.6.31.9-0.0.0.3.3490791.x86_64.rpm
Comment 35 Jan Beulich 2010-01-04 08:29:25 UTC
As stated above (and confirmed by your testing of kotd), the bug is fixed (and the fix will make it into an eventual kernel maintenance update), but the media will not get fixed as per the release manager's decision.

Comment 38 chris epicier 2010-02-08 07:05:55 UTC
Hi, 

I opt for reopening this bug. I run 11.2, updates as per 2010, Feb 08, stock Kernel 2.6.31.5 and KOTD 2.6.31.12-0.1.99.1.a5eb2b3-xen. I cannot find a working kernel on KOTD repo.

I observe *exactly* the same behaviour everytime I try using vm-install and the workaround did not work at all for me. I have a text based setup, so I can only use vm-install. Ther is no "Summary" screen there. Also I use an ftp install source, as there is no option to choose set a ISO for installation source, see below:

"Specify the bootable virtual disk (often labeled as Disk 1) or the network
installation source URL.  Each CD, DVD, or ISO image required for installation
must be added as a virtual disk.
  1: Network URL (ftp://, http://, nfs://, smb://)
[1] >
Type the install URL: > ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/opensuse/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/"

greets
