[Xen-users] Why xen 3.4.x doesn''t works on server with this controler Symbios Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS
I''m testing now xen 3.4.1(stable) and I testing before when is come a stable. I''m having problem with controller driver, he can''t load itself properly so the system isn''t booting. The system is debian 5.0 with kernel 2.6.26-2-xen from distribution the problem occure with both kernels ouput from debian 5.0/kernel 2.6.26-2-xen/xen-3.4.1 4.306723] PNP: No PS/2 controller found.

Or then try using linux-2.6.18-xen dom0 kernel? That''s the official supported/tested dom0 kernel for Xen 3.4.x. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Does it give you some errors? Sounds like you need a newer driver. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
