hi friends,, i hav used the HOWTO in this link http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-xen-3.3-with-kernel-2.6.27-on-ubuntu-8.10-x86_64.. However i get the following error when i type "xm create /etc/xen/xen1.example.com.cfg" ERROR Internal error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command interface (2 = No such file or directory) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 8, in <module> from xen.xm import main File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/xen/xm/main.py", line 61, in <module> xc = xen.lowlevel.xc.xc() xen.lowlevel.xc.Error: (1, 'Internal error', 'Could not obtain handle on privileged command interface (2 = No such file or directory)') i hope i shall get the problem here.
Did you boot into the Xen kernel? It seems as if Xen is not running. What's the output of Code: uname -a ?
Hi friend,, thanks for the prompt reply..But unfortunatly i`m away from the computer now..However is shall provide u the output of that "Uname" command by tommrrow. but here i wantd to ask a question.. when i follwed thta "HOW TO" ..it prompted me to install Xen thro internet and i did ..How ever when i rebooted the computer..there was no xen on grub..instead there was "UBUNTU server" on my ubuntu 8.10 desktop computer.. Thanks
That's the normal Ubuntu kernel which cannot be used for a Xen dom0. What's the output of Code: ls -la /boot , and what's in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
Here is the output of the command u gave Here is the output mamce@mamce-desktop:~$ sudo su root@mamce-desktop:/home/mamce# ls -la /boot total 39160 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-04-01 14:00 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2009-04-07 14:13 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 508385 2009-01-30 02:41 abi-2.6.27-11-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 510401 2009-01-30 02:56 abi-2.6.27-11-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 507665 2008-11-05 02:30 abi-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91358 2009-01-30 02:41 config-2.6.27-11-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91522 2009-01-30 02:56 config-2.6.27-11-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 91364 2008-11-05 02:30 config-2.6.27-7-generic drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-04-01 14:01 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8184671 2009-02-23 16:13 initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8214100 2009-03-30 14:55 initrd.img-2.6.27-11-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3097876 2009-04-01 14:00 initrd.img-2.6.27.5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8180888 2009-02-23 16:10 initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 124152 2008-09-12 01:41 memtest86+.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1031799 2009-01-30 02:41 System.map-2.6.27-11-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1052790 2009-01-30 02:56 System.map-2.6.27-11-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1029585 2008-11-05 02:30 System.map-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1074 2009-01-30 02:42 vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-11-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073 2009-01-30 02:58 vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-11-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1073 2008-11-05 02:32 vmcoreinfo-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2248912 2009-01-30 02:41 vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2297776 2009-01-30 02:56 vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2244464 2008-11-05 02:30 vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 427143 2008-10-06 23:42 xen-3.3.gz root@mamce-desktop:/home/mamce#
There's an initrd.img for kernel 2.6.27, but no vmlinuz or config file for that kernel which makes me believe it wasn't installed properly. Did you see any errors during the installation of that kernel? What's in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
