I tried today''s unstable on some IBM hardware and get this IRQ message at boot when xenU tries to probe the virtual block device: Xen virtual console successfully installed as tty1 Event-channel device installed. xen_blk: Initialising virtual block device driver Trying to free free IRQ261 vbd: probe of vbd-769 failed with error -2 xen_blk: bind_evtchn_to_irqhandler failed (err=-16) vbd: probe of vbd-770 failed with error -2 XENBUS xs_read_watch: 0 xen_blk: Timeout connecting to device! xen_net: Initialising virtual ethernet driver. vif: probe of vif-0 failed with error -2 XENBUS xs_read_watch: 0 xen_net: Timeout connecting to device! The same linux-2.6 xen0/xenU kernels work fine on a scsi DELL PE1650. The same ''free free IRQ'' message happens on IBM x335 (scsi and IDE) and HS20 (IDE). The message is from free_irq() in linux-2.6-xen-sparse/kernel/irq/manage.c: printk(KERN_ERR "Trying to free free IRQ%d\n",irq); xen-2.0.5 works fine on all these hosts. I tried building a linux-2.4 xenU from the unstable pull to see if it would boot, but make failed with this message: xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.4.30-xenU/include/asm/evtchn.h:55: error: conflicting types for `bind_evtchn_to_irq'' xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.4.30-xenU/include/asm/irq.h:44: error: previous declaration of `bind_evtchn_to_irq'' xen/xen-unstable.hg/linux-2.4.30-xenU/include/asm/evtchn.h:56: error: conflicting types for `unbind_evtchn_from_irq'' _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
