I''m setting up a new PC to run Xen, and I can''t get the pre-built 2.0.5 binaries to boot. Xen loads fine, and the 2.6.10-xen0 kernel starts to load, but it locks up after ''Initializing Cryptographic API''. I''ll have to wire up a serial console to get a full boot log, but I won''t be able to do that until tonight at the earliest. The hardware is an Athlon 64 3000+ (S939) w/ 1 GB of RAM on a MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard. I''m trying to load the stock 32-bit Xen and kernel. Has anyone seen this before? At the very least, could someone send me their dmesg output from booting the stock 2.0.5 dom0 kernel, so I can see which subsystems come after the crypto API? Thanks.

Scott, Hopefully somebody who has dealt with this issue before will give you some more useful info, but in the interim I put the stock 2.0.5 dom0 kernel on one of my test machines and booted it so I could get the dmesg for you. Sorry the hardware isn''t more similar. -Yvette On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 09:21:45 -0800, Scott Laird <scott@sigkill.org> wrote:> I''m setting up a new PC to run Xen, and I can''t get the pre-built 2.0.5 > binaries to boot.

Sorry the hardware isn''t more similar.Thanks, this helps. It looks like the next few lines are "Limiting direct PCI/PCI transfers" and then keyboard setup. That at least gives me someplace to start debugging. Thanks.

Within a couple of weeks we should have some new platform init code in the unstable.bk tree, which I hope might fix some of the corner cases we currently experience on some platforms.

There''s some suggestion online that there''s a newer beta release somewhere; I''ll see if I can track that down. Also, it appears that I''m seeing APIC problems with stand-alone Linux on this box--the clock is running at 2x real time. When I get home, I''ll try booting Xen with the APIC disabled and see if it makes any difference.
