Open Stack

Hi,

That sounds like something that would be best answered by either the xen-devel list or the xs-devel list.  Can I suggest that you ask the question there?

It might be worth just confirming that the behaviour is the same when you perform those steps outside OpenStack - i.e. just using XenCenter to set up a Fedora VM and then upgrading the kernel.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your reply. I used a single-part image to start a instance of Fedora 14. Inside the instance, I complied the Linux 3.1.2 kernel and updated the grub. However, the boot process will stuck when choosing the newly built kernel in grub. For Xencenter, I saw the error message shown on the screen is (It go through very quickly, I catched this by snapshoots.)

BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x10000002
BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/0:0/0x10000002
Error: Driver 'xen-platform-pci' is already registered. aborting...

And after this, the screen stuck like the attached picture.

Do you have any ideas about why this happens?

Thanks,
Qin

It depends what type of image you are booting.

If you are using a 3-part image, where the kernel and the initrd were originally outside of the root disk, then I’ve never tested how to make the necessary changes so the next boot pulls the kernel/initrd out from the image.

If the original image was a single-part and the kernel/initrd were extracted automatically at boot time then yes, simply updating grub.conf to reference the new kernel+initrd should be sufficient.

Hello,

I have openstack run on top of Xenserver. I have created images (initrd and kernel images)  inside the /boot directory of the instance. I was wondering if it is possible to load the image during rebooting of the instance by changing the grub.conf?

Thanks,
Qin
