Hi folks, I have a new install of an athlon 64 + ati p200 chipset running FC4. I''ve installed the x86_64 binary on my machine and recompiled the kernel to run Xen, and have been running several guests with dns and dhcp services, and a web server. I am, however, seeing a kernel oops every couple days, which I''ve yet been unable to capture. My question is just whether this is expected behavior from xen 3, since it is listed as ''unstable''? Or if I have messed up my install somehow? I''ve been running tests under the stock redhat kernels, and they are holding up fine so far, so it appears to be something in my dom0 kernel, or the xen system and I''m trying to figure out which. Hopefully it''s okay to post this question here. Thanks!

And to answer your question, x86_64 in -unstable has been pretty unstable in the last week. Try a current pull, there''s been many good fixes in the last couple of days. thanks, -chris _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Hey Chris, Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah - that''s what I thought. For kernel hang oops'', is the serial console the best way to go to get this oops? For immediate stability then, would it be recommended to run a 32bit OS and the 32bit Xen builds? Thanks!

So perhaps you''d want to follow -testing for a more stable environment (this is effectively the stable branch). thanks, -chris _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
