Unable to boot with xen

#1 Post by bonze82 »

Used this wiki https://wiki.debian.org/Xen and https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Networ ... en_4.1%2B) as I have a static ip address trying to get xen working. Every time I boot it goes to the cursor and tty5 (ctrl+alt+f5) will only work for less than a second before it goes back to cursor. Is there something I'm missing. Hardware virtualization is enabled. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz.

command:
xl create test.cfg
ERROR: Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!

It sounds to me like you might need to install the missing firmware and maybe even fixing the associated packages that might be either broken or have been deprecated by newer ones.

You should be able to locate and fix y the naughty packages by runnin the series of apt commands l] that I will list below.
1. sudo apt --fix-missing update
2. sudo apt update
3. sudo apt install -f
4. sudo dpkg --configure -a
5. sudo dpkg --configure -a
6. sudo dpkg -l | grep ^..r
7. sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq
8. sudo apt clean
9. sudo apt update
The nine steps above were taken off of a howto on the site listed below.
