As I stated in a blog entry <http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/03/21/xenorg-bugzilla-tracking/> last week, I am going to review the xen-bugs email list weekly and working with members of the community determine which items are still open bugs that need visibility within the development community. I will be posting the weekly bugs in a text file on the Xen.org Wiki at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenBugs. For this week, we have two bugs in Bugzilla that need further review -> 921 and 1100. If you would like to add comments about these bugs, please update the Bugzilla database or the Wiki as I will monitor both to ensure that no one does any unnecessary work. As always, if you have any questions or ideas about the community, please contact me via email or phone. Finally, I attended the Open Source Business Conference this week and posted my comments as well as notes from the sessions at http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/03/28/open-source-business-conference -2008-update/. Feel free to check out my comments as the two main people at the event were Jim Whitehurst, the new CEO or Red Hat and Brad Smith the SVP and General Counsel of Microsoft. Thanks.

Xen developers: This week we are only tracking two new bugs in Bugzilla: 1224 & 1226. You can find out more information on this week''s bug at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenBugs <http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenBugs> . This wiki site also contains previous weekly bug lists. If you would like to add comments about this bug, please update the Bugzilla database or the Wiki as I will monitor both to ensure that no one does any duplicate work. As always, if you have any questions or ideas about the community, please contact me via email or phone. BUG 1224 I built and installed Xen 3.2 onto a Fedora system running x86_64 Fedora 6. pygrub built and installed, but when I created a config that used pygrub as the bootloader, pygrub failed with an error ''can''t find fsimage''. I looked at the pygrub code, and found the line: sys.path = [ ''/usr/lib/python'' ] + sys.path I changed this to: sys.path = [ ''/usr/lib64/python'' ] + sys.path and everything worked normally. Not sure if it''s an implementation issue on my end (quite possible) or if there is a way to detect where the fsimage stuff lands on a 64-bit system. relatively easy fix, so minimal pain, but I thought it may help to bring it up. BUG 1226 Sometimes while installing some applications (or updating the windows operating system) a bluescreen will be displayed. This error occures on Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Standard AND Enterprise. It never occures, when installed directly on the physical server.. Screenshot of bluescreen: http://upload.virtual-angel.de/xen_wind00f_bluescreen.jpg NOTE - Files are uploaded to this bug tracking with more details Thanks.

BUG 1227
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1227
After copying some larger files (e.g. adding RPMs), the Dom0 spits out error
msgs (var/log/messages):
Apr 25 22:38:44 paikea kernel: PCI-DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 8192 bytes at
device 0000:03:03.0
Apr 25 22:38:44 paikea kernel: 3w-xxxx: tw_map_scsi_sg_data(): pci_map_sg()
failed.

In parallel, the partition is re-mounted read-only and no file writing
operation is possible any more. Hardware used is an AMD 64 CPU, 3ware RAID
controller and 4 GB RAM memory.

BUG 1229
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1229
I have a windows 2003 HVM domain (called win1 in output below) that becomes
unresponsive after a few days.
xm list gives me no status for this domain :
xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 6051 4 r----- 44485.5
web2 1 1024 1 -b---- 2354.7
win1 2 1024 1 ------ 6754.1
I have kept a dump-core if it can help.
BUG 1230
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1230
It seems impossible to let the 32 bit dom0 addressing more than 16GB of memory.
My environment is a system with 26GB of ram, centos 5.0 32 bit,
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.centos.plus. I've installed a upgaded xen and
xen
libs downloaded from the web site: xen-libs-3.2.0-0xs.centos5 and
xen-3.2.0-0xs.centos5.
Moreover I installed the last grub from the grub web site configured to accept
the mem parameter at boot.
Thanks.
