I''m noticing that the same configuration of Xen DomUs that works on a 2x2.4 Ghz P4 breaks a lot on a 2x700 Mhz Pentium III (though it used to work ~ early Sept). By breaks a lot I mean some DomUs can never start, even by hand. Is anyone else seeing this? I know that in general using a PIII for development is tough, as it means lots of slow compiles, but I''ve got access to lots of that hardware, so it has made a convenient test platform (at least up until it not working at all 2 months ago). Other comments would be welcomed before I dig too deep here. This is my last xm-test run (http://xmtest.dague.org/cgi-bin/display?view=single&testid=103), though I''ll also rerun that today to see if anything got better in the last 2 weeks. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.

The domU kernel works about 20% of the time, and never with Fedora based domains. Any ideas why this would be the case? -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
