Hi, i just carried out a major upgrade of one of my servers, moving from a mid-july xen-unstable/xenlinux2.4.26 to todays xen-unstable/xenlinux2.6.9. After building xen and a dom0 kernel and transferring them over, i attempted to boot up but i''m getting this crash CPU0 FATAL TRAP: vector = 6 (invalid operand) immediately after xen has finished scrubbing RAM. I''ve attached the console log of the boot. I can put any of the build deliverables up somewhere or email them if they''ll help. Hope someone else has a clue where to start, as i''m completely lost with this level of stuff.

I wonder if it is due to the size of the initrd (unlikely, as a 16MB initrd isn''t *that* big and we often test with an initrd). Might be worth trying to boot without an initrd and see if the boot gets further. If you point me at your Xen and Linux images are, I''ll try them out myself. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Not sure what...Okay, I checked in a fix so that 3DNOW extensions will work. The other problem is that you have configured 8250 serial-line support into your kernel, which you almost certainly don''t want to do. So, pull latest changes and remove folloiwng option from your config and you should be set: Device Drivers -> Character devices -> Serial drivers -> 8250/16550and compatible serial support -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Let me know if 2.4 still fails for you with 8250 driver removed... -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Taken serial port options out now, ta.Hmm, I wander if we make things more user friendly in this respect by removing COM1 from dom0''s io bitmap if Xen has already claimed it? Hopefully the probe would then fail and the boot would continue. Maybe COM2 could even be used directly...
