Error setting up bridge with static IP address
by Neil Aggarwal 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Hello: I am trying to follow the RHEL virtualization guide to set up a bridge on a system running CentOS 5.4. I copied my ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0:1 and set its content to this: DEVICE=eth0:1 HWADDR=[The MAC address from eth0] ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br1 I then created ifcfg-br1 with this content: DEVICE=br1 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.2.255 IPADDR=192.168.2.202 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.2.0 ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 When I do service network restart, I get this error: error in ifcfg-eth0:1: didn't specify device or ipaddr I specified the device so it looks like it wants an IP address but that is contrary to what I am reading on the Internet. Any ideas what went wrong?

Have you considered skipping dmraid and just using MD RAID? You would probably be better off. -- Christopher G. Stach II

Problem with CentOS 5.3 Xen and Windows Server 2008 HVM DomU
by Veli-Pekka Kestilä 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi, I have CentOS 5.3 64bit and couple of Windows Server 2008 32Bit DomU's on it. Problem is that I got hit with the "A clock interrupt was not recevied on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval" Blue Screen when trying to run with more than one CPU When searching around I found that official XEN distribution (development version) has some fixes for it, but is there anything I could do on CentOS / windows quest to get the things working with more than one CPU. Greetings, Veli-Pekka Kestilä

The root filesystem's LV/device is not writable or your root filesystem is mounted read-only? If it's the latter, just ``mount -o remount,rw /''. -- Christopher G. Stach II

It's really simple: Boot Centos 5 CD Start rescue mode by typing # linux rescue # sudo -i # mkdir /mnt/root # mount -t ext3 /dev/whatever /mnt/root # nano /mnt/root/etc/fstab Regards, Netbulae Jorick Astrego Netbulae B.V.

Xen to KVM migration
by Dennis J. 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi, I'm thinking about how to go about migrating our Xen VMs to KVM. Migrating the configuraton should be easy using the virsh dumpxml/define commands but what is the best way to transfer the (logical volume based) images without too much downtime for the guest system? Can rsync operate on logical volumes? If so I could potentially use "dd" to transfer an initial copy of the image to the destination host and then shut down the guest, rsync the logical volumes which shouldn't take too long as not much data has to be transfered thanks to the initial "dd" and then boot the guest on the new machine. Is something like this possible or would you do something different? Regards, Dennis

domU shutdown with cx88 crashes dom0
by Christian Schuermann 10 Oct '09

Hi, I've got a big problem with a cx88 DVB card. It is passed through to a CentOS 5.3 domU (dom0 is CentOS 5.3 as well), but when I shutdown the domU, this happens: cx88[0]: mpeg risc op code error cx88[0]: mpeg - dma channel status dump cx88[0]: cmds: initial risc: 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: cdt base : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: cdt size : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: iq base : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: iq size : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: risc pc : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: iq wr ptr : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: iq rd ptr : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: cdt current : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: pci target : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cmds: line / byte : 0xffffffff cx88[0]: risc0: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: risc1: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: risc2: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: risc3: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 0: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 1: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 2: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 3: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 4: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 5: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 6: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 7: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 8: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq 9: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq a: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq b: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq c: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq d: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq e: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: iq f: 0xffffffff [ INVALID sol eol irq2 irq1 23 22 21 20 19 18 cnt1 cnt0 resync 14 13 12 count=4095 ] cx88[0]: fifo: 0x00186400 -> 0x187400 cx88[0]: ctrl: 0x001807c0 -> 0x180820 cx88[0]: ptr1_reg: 0xffffffff cx88[0]: ptr2_reg: 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cnt1_reg: 0xffffffff cx88[0]: cnt2_reg: 0xffffffff This loops forever eating every available cpu cycle. The dom0 becomes unusably slow until I manually destroy the domU. The domU runs 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen with video4linux-kmdl-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen-20090415-88.0.4.el5 (there are no video4linux-kmdls for the latest kernel yet). Manually unloading the modules before shutting down has no effect. Without video4linux-kmdl installed, everything works fine. I hope you can help me. Regards, Chris
