I have a CentOS (6.8) box running as Dom0 that uses xen-4.6.3-4.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-3.18.44-20.el6.x86_64.rpm and friends from the virt repo. I can get a basic X environment (Vesa driver) when running in non-Xen mode but, when booting into the hypervisor, that fails. I've tried one suggestion, adding a nopat to the kernel invocation, but that hasn't helpd although I'm sure the full suggestion, which I can no longer find, also mentioned an "mtrr" addition as well. I'm also sure believe I even saw someone get pointed to some "aftermarket" xorg-x11 RPMs that claimed to work better with the Xen4CentOS environment than the standard ones. My ability to search the interweb thing and find this info has clearly fallen to an all time low, so, does anyone on here have a better memory than I do, as regards that stuff ? (Assuming i didn't dream it!)

Upstream libvirt releases for Virt-SIG
by Jiri Denemark 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi all, I talked to our oVirt developers who use CentOS for upstream development. And that's what makes their lives hard because it takes a long time before they can start using new features of libvirt. The latest released CentOS version is 7.2 with libvirt 1.2.17, which is pretty old. But even when CentOS 7.3 with libvirt 2.0.0 gets released, it will already be old since libvirt 2.5.0 is just about to be released upstream. So to help them, I'd like to start building upstream releases of libvirt for Virt-SIG. As one of the core libvirt developers and a maintainer of libvirt in RHEL I think I should be qualified enough to do so :-) The goal is to take every upstream release of libvirt soon after it's been released and rebase the current CentOS package on top of it. If it sounds good to you, what should I do to get started? Jirka

Running i386 guests under CentOS7 amd64 kvm host
by C. L. Martinez 01 Dec '16

Hi all, Maybe it is a stupid question, but I a totally lost. When I try to configure an ubuntu i386 guest under CentOS7 amd64 kvm host (fully patched) using virt-manager, I can't select what architecture I want to use. If I try to change guest.xml using "virsh edit", I can do it, but guest doesn't starts ... Is it not possible to run i386 guests under CentOS7 amd64 kvm hosts?? Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L. Martinez
