I tried converting the hard drive image using qemu tools, which worked fine, 
but I wasn't sure how to proceed from there. I sent a query to the list about 
it a few weeks ago but never got a reply. I tried hardware virtualization as 
well as paravirtualization, but neither successfully started all the way. My 
ideal case scenario would be a paravirtualized Debian SOGo ZEG, since that is 
my dom0 distro. Based on my (albeit incomplete) understanding of Xen on Linux 
though, I should be able to relatively easily paravirtualize any distro that 
uses the standard Linux kernel. --

I am still looking for a Xen appliance; I'll take any distro or

[SOGo] ZEG running on Debian Xen server

2013-12-02 Thread Eric Lindsey 
To begin, let me say that I have been trying to sift through existing
documentation for SOGo and OpenChange, much of which is either outdated or
contradictory. I also tried searching the mailing list history, but it
seemed to yield empty results? If I am missing something obvious, or
posting to the wrong group, I apologize in advance.

I like the look of SOGo's ZEG appliance, because I have been futilely
trying for weeks to get SOGo+OpenChange working, both using packages and
compiling from source. Installing packages works fine, but I don't know how
to get everything talking to each other, whereas compiling from source
generally yields other problems. So, when I found the SOGo ZEG appliance, I
thought all my problems are solved!

However, I am running a Xen sever on a Debian dom0. I've tried downloading
the VMDK file and converting it to RAW using qemu-img (which yielded the
expected 100G file), but I cannot get it to boot in paravirtualized OR
fully virtualized (HVM) modes. I have allocated 1GB of memory and 2 VCPUs
to the VM, and I am running it on an dual-processor quad-core Intel Xeon
system with 8 GB of memory. Does anyone have success running this appliance
under Xen, or can anyone point me in the right direction based on the
following logs?

Thanks in advance,
Eric Lindsey
