I''m getting a little better at figuring out problems on my own.
I''m using the 3.4.0 Xen kernel, but with the Linux git xen-tip/master
sources. Are they expected to be compatible?
I''ll give xen-tip/next a try.
I really want to be able to run a recent Linux because it has a driver
for my 3ware 9690SA RAID. The 2.6.18 kernel doesn''t. I took a stab at
backporting it, but haven''t gotten my backport to actually work yet.
So far I can start a WinXP SP3 HVM DomU. A window appears, turns grey,
then disappears. Each time I try this, dmesg shows a line like these:
privcmd_fault: vma=ffff88008a971840 7fc99b128000-7fc99b228000,
pgoff=0, uv=00007fc99b128000
privcmd_fault: vma=ffff8800919f2c60 7f8e7162e000-7f8e7172e000,
pgoff=0, uv=00007f8e7162e000
privcmd_fault: vma=ffff88008a88a4d0 7ffe0da4e000-7ffe0db4e000,
pgoff=0, uv=00007ffe0da4e000
If there''s anything I could do to help debug this, just let me know.
There was a post about what I think is the same bug at:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-04/msg00104.html
That post includes a call trace - my dmesg doesn''t have one. My system
doesn''t crash - the DomU just exits but nothing else bad happens.
My box is a Core 2 Quad Xeon, e5420 or some such, 8 GB FB-DIMM,
Supermicro X7DWA-N motherboard.
Hope This Helps!
Mike

I haven''t yet tried any paravirtualized DomUs. Mike -- Michael David Crawford mdc@prgmr.com prgmr.com - We Don''t Assume You Are Stupid.

Ian Campbell has patches for it in the git://xenbits.xensource.com/people/ianc/linux-2.6.git repository, branch for-jeremy/privcmd.

I got the xen-tip/next sources and am using the result as my Dom0. It is from 2.6.30-r6; the xen-tip/master is rc3. The WinXP SP3 installer booted right up! Ian''s work must have been merged into xen-tip/next already. I''m at the "Welcome to Setup" screen right now. I am so excited! I have NEVER been so happy to run Windoze(TM). I''ve been running the unstable Dom0 for two or three weeks now, and haven''t had any trouble at all with Linux itself. I''ll try BeOS 5 Pro next. That one''s a bastard to virtualize.
