Re: Devstack +XCP/XenServer Kernel Panic

 

Hi,

We actively working on improving these guides. Hopefully they will become more bullet proof very soon!

We are working on getting the wiki up to scratch as a first step:
http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer<http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServer/XenXCPAndXenServer>

I have not seen this error myself. How did you install the xva image? Did you use build_domU.sh? Where you running as route when doing build_xva?

Can you give me the output of xe vm-param-list for your VM? I can compare that with mine to see if there are any settings that could be causing the issue (like not being in the correct PV-mode, or similar, although not seen that cause a kernel panic myself)

Thanks,
John

Subject: [Openstack] Devstack +XCP/XenServer Kernel Panic

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this (and if not, can anyone point out where).

I've used the devstack scripts to try to set up Openstack on both XenServer 6.0 and XCP 1.5 using the following guides:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XCP_DevStack
https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/blob/master/tools/xen/README.md

Wether on XenServer or XCP, I always seem to hit the same issue. When the ALLINONE VM is fired up, it shuts down after a few seconds with a kernel panic ( as seen here: http://imgur.com/i85fC). The same issue occurs with the domU_multi scripts too.

A note, in case it may affect the build scripts somehow, For external storage, rather than using a different machine, or external USB, I've mounted /root to an NFS share before running prepare_dom0.sh.

We've currently got a Diablo Openstack installation up and running using StackOps, but I'm currently trying out essex on some spare machines (both to get to know it, and an attempt to see if running with Xen is of any advantage to us).

Thanks

/Kieran
