RE: Reboot on *DOM0* while/after installing GPLPV drivers

[John Hayward <john.hayward%wheaton.edu@localhost>]

Thanks for the note back.
The initial problem was that I had put the xen.gz in a different directory - I 
got that fixed.
I also removed the duplicate xend in /etc/rc.d

Now I am putting things back to 4.2.3 and when xend starts it hangs and when 
HUP is sent:
====
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/pkg/sbin/xend", line 110, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/pkg/sbin/xend", line 92, in main
    return daemon.start()
  File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.7/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDaemon.py", 
line 181, in start
    s = r.read()
KeyboardInterrupt

Looking at the svrDaemond.pv it appears to be attempting to read from a socket 
of a forked child.

Any program attempting to access /kern (including on shutdown) seems to get 
wedged.

Probably something wrong with my setup.

this can be a problem, now both /etc/rc.d/xend-3.3 and /etc/rc.d/xend will
be executed at startup ...

Did you try xen 4.1.x ? This is what I use these days (with xm, xl is not
up to the task in 4.1.x)
