[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#525169: xen-utils-3.2-1: FreeBSD (possbly others) do not work in Xen 3.2-1 due to real mode emulation bugs
Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: important Intel processors have a bug with Vt that causes problems with Xen real-mode emulation. This renders FreeBSD (and possibly other OS'es) unbootable in Xen with HVM. Later versions of Xen 3.2 (and 3.3) emulate real-mode instructions so this problem doesn't exist. I would provide the relevant patches, but I do not have much familiarity with the Xen source code :(. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xen-utils-3.2-1 depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.41.3-1 ext2 filesystem libraries ii iproute 20090324-1 networking and traffic control too ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcrypt11 1.4.4-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.6.4-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libncurses5 5.7+20090404-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-4+b1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libxenstore3.0 3.2.1-2 Xenstore communications library fo ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.11 register and build utility for Pyt ii udev 0.125-7 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii xen-utils-common 3.2.0-2 XEN administrative tools - common ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xen-utils-3.2-1 recommends: ii bridge-utils 1.4-5 Utilities for configuring the Linu ii xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 [x 3.2.1-2 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64 Versions of packages xen-utils-3.2-1 suggests: ii xen-docs-3.2 3.2.1-2 Documentation for Xen -- no debconf information
