Some Last Words of Encouragement

This chapter describes a troubleshooting work flow that works for us. In general, we try to hit the obvious stuff before escalating to more invasive and labor-intensive methods.

We've also tried to list error messages that we've seen, along with possible solutions. Obviously, we can't be encyclopedic, but we've probably hit most of the common error messages in our years working with Xen, and we can at least give you a decent starting point.

Don't get depressed! Concentrate! Remember that the odds are very good that someone has seen and solved this problem before. And, don't forget: There's no shame in giving up occasionally. You can't beat the computer all the time. Well, maybe you can, but we can't. Good luck.
