Tinycorelinux on Xenserver

<< < (2/3) > >>

mistera:
Ok, version 2.9 boots in the same VM I used to test the 3.x versions.

Bug in 3.x???

mistera:
I'm using 5.5 because I use mdadm (software raid)  for local storage.
With version 5.6 i had major issues setting mdadm up for local storage.

gutmensch:
I don't think it's a bug in tc 3.x, because it's running on so many systems and even on XenServer 5.6 flawlessly. Probably you need a special boot code to get 3.x running on XenServer 5.5 like noapic, it's surely a bug in XenServers vm abstraction layer.

[edit]
btw. tc 2.x uses kernel 2.6.29, tc 3.x uses 2.6.33 - it might be possible that XenServer 5.5 is not compatible with all features of 2.6.33 or compatible at all, XenServer 5.5 is from 06/2009, 2.6.33 is from 02/2010.

mistera:
probaby due to my version of xenserver, although I don't really see it should matter that much.

The link above describes exactly the same error message I'm getting, but they used some version of virtualpc

gutmensch:
it's not exactly the same error message, it's just a printout of a stack trace, which means something crashed.

I can tell you why that should matter much:

XenServer 5.5 - Xen 3.2 - tc 2.x works, tc 3.x crashes
XenServer 5.6 - Xen 3.4 - tc 2.x works, tc 3.x works

It cannot be tc, which is causing the error, when it is running under XenServer 5.6. Xen must be the problem here and I suppose it's kernel incompatibility.
