CentOS virt - Jun 2010 - allocating pci resources starting at a8000000 (gap: a0000000:5ec00000)

Hello,

I've installed XEN according to this tutorial: 
<http://www.howtoforge.com/paravirtualization-with-xen-on-centos-5.4-x86_64>
http://www.howtoforge.com/paravirtualization-with-xen-on-centos-5.4-x86_64
on the first XEN boot, it freezes for a very long time on:

allocating pci resources starting at a8000000 (gap: a0000000:5ec00000)

(the centos installation works fine)

 

I then realized that this is caused when I set the BIOS to use Virtualization.
(when I disable it, XEN boots up nicely).


I have:  <http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27236>
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27236
so I can't find any reason why this is not working...

 

 

I?d appreciate any help on this matter.

 

Regards,

MtK

Do you have the latest BIOS/firmware versions installed? 

Also you could try installing without selecting the "Virtualization"
option during centos installation.. does it boot then (on baremetal without Xen)
?

Yes, I have the latest firmeware, and yes, if ?Virualization? is OFF (in the
BIOS), XEN works fine ? but I cannot install new VMs.
