hello, since a few weeks i try to install xen on NetBSD 2.0, 2.0.2 and 3.0 beta. The first steps seem to be passed successfully. From the grub menu i select the domain0 and it start. The steps i have done are based on the documentation at http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/xen/howto.html. First i did use the NetBSD versions 2.0 and 2.0.2 because i did not found the neccessary files for NetBSD 2.0_C4 like written in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0_RC4/xen-i386/INSTALL.html. I did contact Christian Limpach because of my problem. His suggestion was that the MAKEDEV script i did use doesn't know about the xen entries, at least not when i ask for it to create the "xen" devices. He was right. In NetBSD 2.0 and 2.0.2 the MAKEDEV script really don't know about. The first time i did found the necessary entries unter NetBSD 3 beta. Here is my main problem: the execution of "xend start" don't really work. At the /var/log/xend-debug.log i found the following entry: "/etc/xen/scripts/network: not found" I did not wondering about because there is no xen directory under /etc after the port-installation of xentools 2.0. Do you have an idea what i did wrong? Or what i can do to have a bit more success? Here is a list of the steps i had done: > Download of the newest pkgsrc (pkgsrc.tar.gz about 26 MB) (It was allways a new NetBSD-Installation so i did not have the /usr/pkgsrc folder) > unpack the file pkgsrc.tar.gz: tar -xzvpf pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr > Package Collection Update. command: cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install command: make install > Installation of the xentools20 command: cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/xentools20 command: make install > Installation of grub command: cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/grub command: make install > configuring the /grub/menu.lst nearly like the example here are my entrys (for grub and NetBSD 2.0): # ------------------ grub-Konfigurationsdatei für NetBSD/xen. ------------------ default=0 timeout=15 serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal --timeout=15 vga console title Xen 2.0 / NetBSD (hda0, vga) root(hd0,0) kernel (hd0,a)/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 module (hd0,a)/netbsd-XEN0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0 title Xen 2.0 / NetBSD (hda0, serial) root(hd0,0) kernel (hd0,a)/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 com1=115200,8n1 module (hd0,a)/netbsd-XEN0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=ttyS0 title NetBSD 2.0 root (hd0,a) kernel --type=netbsd /netbsd-PREXEN title NetBSD chain root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 ## ------------------Ende der grub-Konfigurationsdatei. ------------------ > grub installation. command: grub-install /dev/rwd0d > Download of the XEN installation file from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-2.0.5-install.tgz unpack the file xen.gz to my root filesystem command: cp xen.gz /xen.gz > Download of the NetBSD/XEN-Kernel ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/reed/NetBSD-daily/current/20050426/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN0.gz unpack the file netbsd-XEN0 to my root file system command: cp netbsd-XEN0 /netbsd-XEN0 (under NetBSD 3 Beta i did use the xen-kernel of the distribution) > create a copy of my base netbsd kernel command: cp /netbsd /netbsd-PREXEN Well. The reboot was fine. The domain0 did start. There was just a message which said: "/etc/rc: WARNING: $xend is not set properly - see rc.conf(5)" a short time befor login prompt. I do not understand what i should configure in /etc/rc.conf. The entry powerd is set to YES. Also i do not know what i have to do get the xen directory under /etc. I did study a lot of documentations but did not found a answer. Do you have got an idea? It would be great. Thanks a lot.
