Hello, i have several trouble with a MSI X58 Platform with i7 Quadcore and the Xen-4.0.0/Xen-4.0.1-rc4 hypervisor. I''m not able to reboot the machine, it freezes on shutdown, i tried several boot configurations as listed here. Reboot doesn''t work ------------------- title Xen 4.0-amd64 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root (hd0,1) kernel /xen-4.0-amd64.gz dom0_mem=256M module /vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0 module /initrd.img-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 Reboot works ------------ title Xen 4.0-amd64 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root (hd0,1) kernel /xen-4.0-amd64.gz dom0_mem=256M acpi=ht noapic noirqbalance module /vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0 module /initrd.img-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0 module /initrd.img-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 Rebooting the baremetal dom0 kernel works as expected without any options. I tried one entry more. title Xen 4.0-amd64 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root (hd0,1) kernel /xen-4.0-amd64.gz dom0_mem=256M module /vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 root=/dev/md0 ro console=tty0 acpi=off module /initrd.img-2.6.32-bpo.5-xen-amd64 With this configuration reboot works but the network card has packet loss and outages within several minutes from time to time. At lease only one configuration works but without acpi, so the question is why. I''m sorry because i cannot send some logs, but the internet provider where the server is located is not able to connect a serial device to save console logs.

Perhaps try a non pv_ops kernel such as the 2.6.32 kernel maintained for the XCP project (patch queue at http://xenbits.xen.org/XCP/linux-2.6.32.pq.hg). -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
