Hi,
I am trying to install alpine 3.4.0 as domU on Xen 4.6.
Setup:
- Xen 4.6
- debian jessie (8.4) as dom0
- alpine-3.3.3 as domU1 ( *working* )
- alpine-xen-3.3.3 as domU2 ( *working* )
So everything is working fine when using all variations of alpine-3.3.3 but errors are thrown when trying to install ANY variation of alpine-3.4.0, alpine-virt-3.4.0, or alpine-xen-3.4.0.
I am getting these errors:
libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:37:libxl__domain_type: unable to get domain type for domid=35 xl: unable to exec console client: No such file or directory libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: console child [14207] exited with error status 1
I followed this guide: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Create_Alpine_Linux_PV_DomU
Here are the files: https://gist.github.com/SunilObj/4c32f1007301b896d3127bd1316a283b
Please take a look at the xl_create.log file above, errors are at the end.
Thanks!
Probably all you need is a
pvh=1
directive in domain's config. Looks like a new Alpine kernel is built withCONFIG_XEN_PVH=y
