XEN 4.1.0 PVOPS设置和启动中遇到的一些问题

uytr

前段时间由于一些特殊的需求，需要使用2.6.39版本的linux内核安装xen，遇到了一些问题，总结一下。

第一步下载内核，www.kernel.org，我当时用的是rc-3版本的内核。解压，OK。

第二步配置内核，进入解压后的内核目录，make menuconfig进入配置界面，具体配置参考

第三步编译内核，修改grub，重启。

好了现在我们使用2.6.39内核启动了.

但此时无法启动xend，很费解。于是查log。

/var/log/xen/xend-debug.log:

搜了一下，在启动xend之前需要先通过xencommons进行初始化。

/etc/init.d/xencommons start
于是又出错误：

Starting xenstored…FATAL:Failed to open evtchn device: No such file or directory
...........
Could not start xenstored.
竟然还要先手动加载evtchn模块

modprobe xen-evtchn
再运行xencommons，成功。

启动xend，成功。

P.S. 加载模块的这一步，不一定只有evtchn一个。例如要用grant table 的话，还需要加载xen-gntalloc。等等。

如果还是无法启动，请关闭selinux；
