Pkg xen devel - Sep 2006 - Bug#387361: xen-hypervisor-3.0-amd64: Xen3 keeps rebooting on AMD64X2

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.0-amd64
Version: 3.0.2+hg9697-2
Severity: normal


Hi DDs,

I tried to install the binaries for Xen3, AMD64 flavour on Etch. 
Everything seemed ok - even the menu.lst got updated nicely and 
autmagically.

Still, after a reboot into the Xen Dom0, the machine just reboots again 
and again. I added 'noreboot' and made a screenshot named
'xenboot.jpg',
which you can find on http://wolfgang.lonien.de/debian/

Another screenshot there called 'xenpackets.png' showed everything I 
installed and then deinstalled again.

I have read the docs and looked at Steve's debian-administration site 
for tips, but cannot figure out if I did something wrong, or if it's a 
hardware or other problem. Even the missing libc6-xen seems to be no 
cause for it, as a bug report for that was closed already.

Please CC me; I'm not subscribed to the BTS list at the moment.

Thanks and kind regards,
wjl aka Wolfgang Lonien

I did. I tried both the 2.6.16 (-18) as well as the 2.6.17 linux images
which are in Etch currently, and both have that same behaviour. Only the
older 2.6.16 (-17 or -16) kernels did boot the Dom0.

Thanks and kind regards,
Wolfgang

Is that still with xen-hypervisor-3.0-amd64?  If yes, then that would be
expected and you should re-read what I wrote (and corrected...) above,
i.e. you need to update your xen-hypervisor package to either
xen-hypervisor-3.0.2-1-* or xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-* depending on
which version of the Linux kernel you indend to use.

 Thomas
