Subject: xen-utils-common: Xen console for guest not working, hangs
Bcc: Roland Lammel <lammelr@pc09.NeoTel.local>
Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.1.2-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrade of Linux kernel to 3.2 (testing) and Xen to 4.1 (testing)
from Debian Stable (Squeeze)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective
(or ineffective)?
Upgrading Xen to 4.1 (from 4.0.1) and Linux kernel to 3.2 (from
stable 2.6.32) by using apt-pinning to select the packages for
linux-image and xen.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Xen guests did not boot correctly (CentOS 4.9 hang on hardware
initialization) and xm console is not working (hangs without any
output)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Xen guests boot and xm console works
It appears the cause of this issue is a missing loaded module named
xen-gntdev.
Patching /etc/init.d/xend to modprobe for xen-gntdev fixes this issue.
(Sorry, patch inline)
