[Xen-devel] Unable to run windows HVM guests with xen 3.1.1

Hello again.

I found another issue with the mandriva xen package: I''m unable anymore
to run windows HVM guests that worked perfectly before. Neither the
existing image, nor installing from the ISO works. In both case, the
domU domain is created, then hangs in early boot phase.

stracing the qemu-dm process show it looping around the following
syscalls: http://www.pastebin.ca/772441

I couldn''t attach strace early enough to catch what is fd 17 exactly,
tough.

Running Linux HVM guests works OK, tough. I only tested this in cooker
(mandriva devel version) on x86_64 host, with xen 3.1.1 (my attempt to
test 3.1 on stable release failed because of the other xend crash issue).

Weird; what version of Xen *was* this working under?  Are you using 32-bit or 
64-bit guests?

I can''t connect to that host; could you paste some of the output into
the
e-mail.  This''ll also help document what happened in the archives.

32-bit or 64-bit Linux?

Cheers,

failed with xen 3.1 on mandriva 2008.0 (after update). And the guest was
Windows XP, 32 bits.

Strangely, everything works OK now after a reboot, a minor update of xen 
package (just adding squashfs support), and a different ordering of 
network configuration at startup (no more explicit bridge setup before 
launching xend). My assumption is that xen is over-sensible to current 
network configuration: if you ever have a misconfigured interface or 
bridge, strange things may happen, such as already reported at:
