Hi Xen developers and enthousiasts, Recently I have been having a lot of problems with HVM hosts on a dual Xeon E5606 box. Problem is that HVM hosts don''t work on it at all and crash the server. Today I got the logging to work over an IPMI console so then I compiled a fresh xen-unstable. Apart from the message I posted in the subject the call trace reads as follows: (XEN) Xen call

Short question: is it possible to share entropy across all VMs and how can this be done? I found http://vanheusden.com/entropybroker/ which seems to offer a way, but I cannot get it to work, syslog tells me "stack smashing detected". So if there are ways people are currently using I''d be interested to hear them. Currently I find that even generating a gpg key on a PV VM takes

Hello. I have encountered a problem with GPLPV drivers for windows. It is similar (if not the same) as http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/2011-02/msg00709.html Host is running 14 virtual machines with Windows XP. When I''m trying to start 15-th windows VM it crashes with code 0x0000007b. Booting to safe mode or with /nogplpv works ok. 15-th VM works fine if

I have a strange problem with these drivers. I have a host that has 31 VM''s running on it, all windows. They are running the same template, which has the latest GPLPV drivers installed. The problem occurred today when I went to add the 32nd VM, again from the same template. Now when the VM boots up I get a BSOD. I tried a different template to confirm that it was not template

I have installed the 210 gplpv (debug), when I try to update them with current gplpv I get a BSOD even so when I try to uninstall them. Now I have made a bootentry that specifies NOGPLPV, what gives me a bootable system after such a crash, I found (uninstalling the leftover driver packages after getting bsod during uninstall of the main package) that uninstalling the net driver leads to bsod. Now

Hello, I installed the signed drivers from http://wiki.univention.de/index.php?title=Installing-signed-GPLPV-drivers and I ran into a BSOD on a Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprise domU with a large number of vcpu''s. The BSOD is related to xennet.sys. After some trials I found that it runs fine up to 15 cores. From 16 or more, the BSOD kicks in when booting the domU. The hardware (4 times

Hey, I''ve been trying to get the gplpv drivers working with Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on both a stock CentOS 5.8 install and CentOS 5.8 w/ Xen 4.1.2 from the gitco repos. I''m getting a BSOD shortly after boot up and it can be seen at http://techmonkeys.org/xen/ -- along with the qemu log. Has anyone had success with these drivers and Windows 2008 R2 64-bit? If so, what am I

Hi, During the install of the univention.de-signed GPLPV drivers (gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.308.msi) on my Windows 7 guest, I get a BSOD "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" in xenvbd.sys. Afterwards, Windows won''t start. I''m now trying to do a System Restore. I will try not installing the VBD driver afterwards and see if the others do work. Full BSOD:

James, I''m writing with respect to an issue I''ve observed on a long-running, stable VM with the GPL-PV drivers installed. Running : 0.11 latest, x86 XP SP3 I used "xm block-attach" to add two disks and (without actually configuring/accessing them) I had an automatic reboot due to windows updates. At the same time as the block-attach the domU config was edited to

Hello, I have Xenserver 5.0. When i install a new VM with Windows Server 2003 X64 Standard (R2) and install all windows-updates, it gives me a BSOD when i install the PV 0.9.12pre3 drivers. Steps to reproduce: - Install Xenserver 5 (light/free or Enterprise/trial) - Install a Windows Server 2003 x64 R2 VM from a ISO or CD - Install all windows updates - Download the GPLPV 0.9.12pre3 .exe file

Hello everyone, I''ve always wondered - would dom0 be better off with a tickless kernel or not? In other words, can someone explain which choice to make with regards to CONFIG_NO_HZ? -- Stay in touch, Mark van Dijk. ,-------------------------------- ----------------------------'' Mon Aug 06 15:40 UTC 2012 Today is Pungenday, the 72nd day of Confusion in the

Hello. I''m trying to get the lastest GPLPV binary (rev 238) working on an Ubuntu Server host with Xen 4, but I''ve got some problems. The guest is a 64 bit Windows 2008 R2. After enabling test mode and rebooting, installing and rebooting again (with /NOGPLPV) I can see all the Xen devices, but two (out of three) Xen Block Device Driver have an exclamation mark; I don''t

I''ve just committed a fix to hg that fixes a problem in the bug check code, which mostly explains why crash dumps weren''t always being written out, and I have a suspicion that without the fix there is a chance of filesystem corruption when a crash dump occurs. Can anyone using GPLPV comment on whether they might have seen this? Basically, everything works fine under GPLPV (no

Hello, BSOD 0x00000101 CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT randomly appears on all HVM Windows 2008R2 (with signed GPLPV drivers) with vcpu''s>=2 after upgrading CPU to hexacore i7-3930K. xen and qemu-dm logs have no suspicious entries after bsod. Before upgrade CPU was i7-2600 and all HVM''s works fine. Such problem persist on all motherboards with i7-3930K,and disappear after moving Dom0

Hello, I configured xen with enabled passthrough primary VGA card (Intel Integrated graphic controller HD 3000) and audio controller (Intel HD audio) to hvm guest. I also installed GPLPV drivers to improve performance. And it works for Windows XP (x86) and Windows 7 (x86_64). But I get a BSOD, when I try to load a disk or network subsystem or start Windows 7 performance test. Steps to reproduce

Hi. I have an old Xen para virt vm which I created using sparse file. Is there any way to convert this vm image to non-sparse without shutting down the vm?. Thanks Paras.

Hi Any tips how to install GPLPV drivers for Windows 2000 server? Did try but it left devices with no drivers, seems it did not find drivers eg. for network card, etc. Terveisin/Regards, Pekka Panula, Net Servant Oy _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have some real problems with the xennet, when disable and try to enable the nic I get a BSoD due to ndis.sys Further more the system still fails to get an IP using dhcp. The box is after a lot of cleanup, now on the 217 GPLPV. I could provide additional details on demand next week. (I''m unsure to get the machine earlier in my reach due to an on site power outage) thx, Florian

Hi everyone, When I set CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR, CONFIG_CPU_IDLE and CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE to y then I cannot boot Xen; there is a crash. If I turn CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE off then the boot goes well and, after dom0 has booted, xenpm works and gives some sane output, see below. I have tested this with kernels 3.2 to 3.4.6. Is it impossible to use INTEL_IDLE with Xen? If this is a known issue then maybe
