[Pkg-xen-devel] Problems w/ xen-utils-3.0-unstable-1 + linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686?

[Nate Carlson]

Anyone else seeing problems with this combo?

I'm running:
linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686           2.6.18.dfsg.1-9 
linux-modules-2.6.18-4-xen-686         2.6.18.dfsg.1-9 
xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-i386-pae 3.0-unstable+hg11561-1 
xen-utils-3.0-unstable-1               3.0-unstable+hg11561-1 
xen-utils-common                       3.0.3-0-2

When I try to fire up xend, it bombs.. doing some debugging, it looks like 
it's a problem with xenstored. When I fire that up by hand, I get:

dev-xen201:~# /usr/lib/xen-3.0-unstable-1/bin/xenstored
ERROR: Could not open event channel interface (19 = No such device)
FATAL: Failed to open evtchn device: No such device

It looks like /dev/xen/evtchn is being created with the wrong major/minor, 
ie (where I created evtchn2 by hand):

dev-xen201:~# ls -alh /dev/xen/evtchn*
crw------- 1 root root 10, 201 2007-02-02 11:10 /dev/xen/evtchn
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 10,  63 2007-02-02 11:18 /dev/xen/evtchn2
dev-xen201:~# cat /dev/xen/evtchn
cat: /dev/xen/evtchn: No such device
dev-xen201:~# cat /dev/xen/evtchn2

dev-xen201:~#

However, if I create evtchn by hand, it gets overwritten when starting 
xenstored again (sigh).

I just reported a bug for this also, but haven't received a conf# yet.. 
I'd appreciate any advice!
