The procedure bellow in general follows Thiago’s Martins submission [1] to xen-devel mailing list. However,sequence of steps has been changed and also option of pvops kernel build via make-kpkg was added , /dev/xen/evtchn device hard linked with with pvops kernel, git checkout procedure is more straight forward and one Change-set from xen-4.0-testing.hg back ported to Xen 4.0 to support grub2 notation ‘(hd0,1)’ specific for Ubuntu 10.04 aka Lucid Lynx. Several suggestions have been also made regarding to have libvirt ,virtinst and related packages to work with Xen 4.0 on 10.04 Server. The way as Xen 4.0 Dom0 set up worked on Ubuntu 9.10 (04) Servers doesn’t work any longer.

Now git clone and checkout branch xen/stable
cd /usr/src
git clone

cd linux-2.6-xen
git checkout -b xen/stable-2.6.32.x origin/xen/stable-2.6.32.x
Build kernel in Debian way
make menuconfig # Enabled the dom0 support and the Xen backend as usual on Ubuntu 9.10, F12
make -j(x)number_of_kernels
make modules_install install
chmod g-s /usr/src -R
make deb-pkg
dpkg -i ../linux-image*2.6.32.12*.deb
depmod 2.6.32.12
update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32.12
OR
aptitude install kernel-package fakeroot
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=(number_of_cores) +1
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-pv kernel-image kernel-headers
dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.32.16-pv_2.6.32.16-pv-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

One more notice regarding /etc/modules editing silently skipped in [1]
In case configuring kernel (1)
<M> Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device
echo “xen-evtchn” >> /etc/modules
In case configuring kernel (2)
<*> Xen /dev/xen/evtchn device
/etc/modules shouldn’t be touched.
With config bellow there is no need to touch /etc/modules at all.
Option “userspace grant access device driver is set to” <*> to make virt-install handy at Xen guests

UPDATE 06/09/2010
*********************************************************************************************************************
As of 06/09/2010 checking out xen/stable or xen/stable-2.6.32.x branch will result building 2.6.32.15 kernel. This kernel may work properly only with Xen 4.0.1-rc2-pre ( at the time of writing). So build xen as follows
# cd /usr/src
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-4.0-testing.hg
# cd xen-4.0-testing.hg
# make xen
# make tools
# make install-xen
# make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=

UPDATE on 06/01/2010
——————————————————————————————————————
If your major concern is Libvirt you may switch to Set up Libvirt 0.7.7&Xen 4.0 Dom0 on top of Fedora 13
——————————————————————————————————————–
Another option is to set up Libvirt 0.8.0 along with with all related packages via Daniel Baumann PPA
https://launchpad.net/~dnjl/+archive/virtualization. It seems to be working OK with 2.6.32.15 pvops kernel
(xen/stable-2.6.32.x) under Xen 4.0. View for details Set up Libvirt 0.8.1 & Xen 4.0.1 Dom0 (2.6.32.15 pvops) on top of Ubuntu 10.04 Server .

It’s important to specify “–connect xen:///” inside virt-install command line to succeed with VNC console launching (vs 9.10) . Variable VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI exported via .bashrc in my case caused virt-install to crash.Comment out (xend-unix-server yes) in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and export variable
export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI="xen:///"
in root’s .bashrc. Then reboot Xen Host.

Xen Virtualization on Linux and Solaris 
I tried your tutorial, with Ubuntu Lucid Server as a base, but unfortunately I ended up (just like with two other tutorials earlier) with the following:
root@xen:~# /etc/init.d/xend start
grep: /proc/xen/capabilities: No such file or directory
There seems to be no /proc/xen even if uname -a says 2.6.32.10 so I must be running the new kernel.
I must be doing something wrong =(
Yes. Take a look at “Make Menuconfig”
Try to load all available xen kernel modules:
xen-netfront
netxen_nic
xenfs
xen-evtchn
xen-blkfront
Have you solution for this problem?
There was this mistake for me too.
I’ve updated post. Please, hard link all modules, like block,network,blktap backend Dom0 drivers, /dev/xen/evtchn device hard link as well. There should not be any need to place them in /etc/modules. Moreover, pvops kernel does require all backend drivers
to be hard linked

I have a problem with boot Xen 4.0.0 and kernel 2.6.3*
(any version)
Code grub.cfg:
menuentry “Xen 4.0 / Ubuntu 10.04 3” {
insmod lvm
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)’
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set f9c8993e-9382-41cf-b0d6-6c95d074cb22

module /vmlinuz-2.6.31.13 dummy=dummy root=/dev/mapper/raptor–gv-root–lv ro
module /initrd.img-2.6.31.13
}
During boot PC start BusyBox and print on screen
mount: mounting /dev/mapper/raptor–gv-root–lv on /root failed: no such device
Help me pliz!
If I try booting without first parameter in grub.cfg – dummy=dummy then i have error about “where root?”
then
Post “df -h” for your system

Еще столкнулся с тем что все пишут включите в ядре Xen. Как мало кто пишет, то есть надо знать какие опции в ядре включать. кто знает ?
What options i must enable in kernel configuration for Xen 4.0 ??
Can you please provide the link to xen-devel submission, referenced as [1]?
I’ve just checked. It’s working.
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2010-03/msg00878.html
Да спасибо видел копию статьи в переводе на opennet.ru.
THanks, but Ubuntu already realeased and something may be chang becouse it’s instruction don’t work. For example I’ve get kernel 2.6.32.13 but no 2.6.32.10
Я уже неделю бьюсь на этой штукой. как её заставить работать ?

Роман, если ты в Питере или Москве, пошли мне привет на
e-mail, есть одна проблема.
Config from here
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2010-03/msg00878.html
work and my PC boot until switch in GUI mode.
When start X display off and no signal, but server working and receive ssh connection.
How can I edit config with worked graphics.
Post question to xen-users mailing list, not to my blog
Disable DRM completely. Rebuild the kernel and install again. Login as root. Try
# service gdm stop
# startx
Hi There,
After booting my Dom0, I can’t run xm list. It says that it can’t connect to xend. Xend is running according to ps (However I had to add xenfs /proc/xen to fstav first).
Any ideas?
Thanks
I forgot to mention that I havn’t downgraded my libvirt, so could this be the problem?
I’ve since discovered that I don’t have xend-socket anywhere on my system. Could this be why xend isn’t listening?
You must boot Xen.gz in grub.cfg and then boot kernel for Dom0. It’s kernel must create /proc/xen (if you enable this option)
Please view UPDATE 06/01/2010
where it doing? – “Verify Xen environment :-” ?
Где это делать то – проверять Xen окружение.
Hello,
Does the power management work with this howto?
Yes.
Hello,
I followed the tutorial but @ reboot I get
VFS: Cannot open root device “mapper/leon-root” or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct “root=” boot option; here are the available partitions
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
my grub entry looks like :
menuentry “XEN 4 / Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32.15” {

I also tried with root=UUID=… with same problem.
A working entry looks like:

recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1′)

linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-server root=/dev/mapper/leon-root ro
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32.31-server
}
I’ve searched all over the web but didn’t find a working answer. Someone has some ideas?
well, this will be a kernel compilation related problem, strange, I took the kernel settings of the ubuntu 10.04 kernel to start from and just added all the xen stuff.
Hi Verbeke!
I am encountering the same issue namely “Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)”.
I was wondering if you have figured out a fix for the problem? You mention that this seems to be a kernel compilation problem… could you please share some more details.
If possible please share your kernel configuration file.

Hello,
I am trying to install xen on ubuntu 10.04 using the xen dom0 kernel 2.6.18.8 but getting errors on loading. My grub file is given below:
menuentry ‘Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.18.8 with pv_ops for Xen 4.0.1rc3′ –class ubuntu –class gnu-linux –class gnu –class os {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,5)’
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set 98646bed-d837-44aa-b885-ac45a9042659
multiboot (hd0,5)/boot/xen-4.gz dummy=dummy
module (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen0 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sdb5 ro console=tty0
module (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen0
}
the error is
“Error: couldn’t open file”,
multiboot kernel should be loaded first
i have seen similar problem on mailing list
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2010-06/msg00759.html but the solution does not work for me.
Any idea on how to boot?
I have the same issue as the Amina.
error: couldn’t open file
error: you need to load the multiboot kernel first
This is my grub entry:
#!/bin/sh
echo “Adding Xen 4.0 menu entry.” >&2
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the ‘exec tail’ line above.
menuentry “Xen 4 / Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32.16” {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)’
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set 5cd488ec-97af-442a-bd20-1552c5014156
multiboot (hd0,1)/boot/xen.gz dummy=dummy
module (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.16 dummy=dummy nopat root=/dev/sda5 ro console=tty0
module (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.16
Make sure /boot contains all files mentioned in grub entry.
xen.gz
vmlinuz-2.6.32.16
initrd.img-2.6.32.16
You just misspelled or lost one of them
Nope all the files are there in both the /boot dir and the config entry and nothing is misspelled. I’m thinking there are still issues with grub2.

Both of the links you posted seem to be dead. I get timeout errors on both of them.
I was finally able to get to both of those links, but for some reason they still took a very long time to come up.
Unhappily neither one of those links helped. I still have no joy getting Xen working on 10.04. Even making a symlink in root to Xen doesn’t help me. I can boot the new kernel with no problems, but Xen will not boot at all.

Hello,
Make all actions from instruction. After restart I was see such text:
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx-xxx-xxxx–xxx does not exist. Dropping to shell!
Good job 😉
I want to ask that the step:” make menuconfig # Enabled the dom0 support and the Xen backend as usual on Ubuntu 9.10, F12″ which will be includes? Could you give a detailed instruction? Or mail me?
http://pastebin.com/EbRsiav7
I’m a rookie of xen ,would you please tell me how to use what you said in http://pastebin.com/EbRsiav7?
copy what in pastebin? or make a new file and compile it? and how to ??
menuentry “Xen 4 / Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.32.12” {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd1,5)’
multiboot (hd1,5)/boot/xen.gz dummy=dummy
module (hd1,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.12 dummy=dummy nopat root=/dev/sdb5 ro console=tty0
module (hd1,5)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.12
}
all the things above should write to which file???boot/grub/menu.list?
Could you learn Linux basics and grub2 docs by yourself ?
I’m a rookie.So sorry to waste your time, and all the things I’ve figured out but when I reboot into my system, and when loading dom 0, the system tells “reboot in five seconds; panic on CPU 0; could not set up dom0 guest os;Error will only load images built for the generic loader or linux images”
This is my menuentry :
menuentry ‘Ubuntu10.04 inux 2.6.32.21-xen’ {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)’
set timeout=5
multiboot (hd0,1)/boot/xen.gz dummy=dummy
module (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-xen dummy=dummy nopat
root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0
module (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.21-xen
}
It’s correct,except “nopat” should not be needed,
in general. Command :-
# make menuconfig
generates file .config. I submitted you a ready to go
.config via http://pastebin.com/EbRsiav7.
Just “gedit .config” and cut and paste content provided via link above, It has a window to grub text at the bottom. Then build using any option above. Your problem is to build kernel correctly, then Dom0 will gets loaded
yeah ,I know, and when I input “make -j 1”, it comes out a lot of new function ,should I click the default bottom? I just keeping clicking “Enter”.Is that correct?
hallo,
I am trying to install xen on ubuntu 10.04, but appears the follow error:
:/usr/src$ sudo git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen

Help me please.

1.Aren’t you behind corporate firewall ?
2.Try as root.
It looks as network issue.
thanks for your help.
1. No. I’m connected with a DI 524 router and an dlink 500b modem, without firewall rules.
2. As root i have the same error message.
Any other idea?
Double check packages installed.
Git is not installed properly.
Done just now on Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop

I just successfully compiled, installed and got Xen 4.1.1-rc1-pre up and running on Ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32.36.
Comparing my “xm info”, it seems I’m missing the following entries from the output and was hoping someone could shed some light as to why or what I missed in configuration:
node_to_cpu :
node_to_memory :
node_to_dma32_mem :
max_node_id :
I have no lines indicating stats on the 4 lines above with I do a “xm info”.
Many thanks in advance.
Ron A.
Sorry, I saw that “xm info” for 4.0 and 4.1 are different. In 4.0.x it shows those (4)lines:
node_to_cpu : node0:0-1
node_to_memory : node0:2054
node_to_dma32_mem : node0:1225
max_node_id : 0
In 4.1.x “xm info” doesn’t have it. ???
I just noticed.
Ron A.
I tried install xen 4.0.1 on ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. i use latest kernel from jeremy (2.6.32.36) that .config get from your reference. there is no problem in booting, but when enter #xm info command i got, “Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running?”
so, i’m kind of stuck here. any ideas?

@Joni : Make sure you are using the correct boot option while starting your Xen VMM. I was getting the same error for a long time, and then I realized this was the mistake I was making…
Even if you think you have the right boot option, try out other xen / Linux -like options from your boot up file…
@Priya
i am successful to compile kernel (2.6.32.36) and xen 4.0.1 on ubuntu 10.04.
#versh version

but when enter virtual machine manager, i got message :

how to fix this problem?
Joni .A
I don’t remember encountering this particular issue, but try this. http://whowhywhathow.blogspot.com/2010/07/no-network-on-xen-user-domain.html
It is a hack and it works only while you don’t reboot your VM but I hope it helps. If you find a better solution, make us wiser !
thanks, this problem solves by click “Add Connection” in Virtual Machine Manager.
but i still confuse, how to make create HVM DomU via profile?
Joni .A
i have a question, if we want to make domu pv, is the domu’s kernel should be pvops kernel?
thanks
HI,
when I type xm new xen says “File “/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/xen/xm/xenapi_create.py”, line 23, in
from xml.parsers.xmlproc import xmlproc, xmlval, xmldtd
ImportError: No module named xmlproc”. when I compiled xen I used make install PYTHON_PRFEFIX_ARGS=
Thanks.
PD: I am using ubuntu server 10.04 and xen 4.0.1
