[Pkg-xen-devel] possible Xen bugs

[Ted Brenner]

Hi all,

I recently installed Squeeze, followed but Xen 4.0.  A few notes of things
I've run into while installing.

The network script part of the xend-config.sxp does not appear to work.
Everything would boot find until I uncommented that line and tried to set it
up per the Debian Xen wiki.  I managed to get bridging to work using the
debian network bridge tools, brctl.

Xen does not recognize when a guest has shutdown.  If I type 'xm shutdown
guestID', it sends the command and when I open a console I can see that the
OS has halted but Xen won't let me delete the domain and show's it's state
as running.  When I shutdown dom0, it hangs when trying to shutdown the
guest domains since it never realizes they have halted.  Ultimately I can
shut them down then destroy them but this seems like a bug.

This is probably not a bug but just more a question.  I'd like to expand the
resolution for my vnc connection.  I've added "extra =
'xenfb.video=8,1024,768'" to my guests config file but it never recognizes
it.  Is there another way I should be doing this?

Thanks for all the hard work!  I was amazed at how it easy it was to get
running despite the little hickups.
