Xen users - Apr 2005 - Via Samuel 2 Stepping 3 - does not work - even whith patch

Hi @ all,

for a via C3 Nemehia, Samuel 2, Stepping 3 on LEx-Mainboard I tried the 4k 
page patch of Adam 
(http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-12/msg00083.html)

Base: Debian Sarge RC4. Patched with no errors, Compiles fine. Installs fine, 
boots exactly until "scrubbing DOM-0 RAM ..." and then stalls. No
response
any more - only hard reset is possible. I tried several options like noacpi 
nosmp.. no changes.

Does anyone probably has any Idea how to debug this?



ThanX in advance!

Timo

ha! I had this problem before.. and I tracied it back to..... BAD RAM. I 
reaplaced ram with a better ram and problem went away.

in fact I was meaning to add xen''s ram scrubber to memtest86 :-)

let me know if it fix for you... I''m assuming you are using the
kernel''s
and xen''s as recommended per the patch. If so then it is bad ram.

...I could not imageine that it is the ram... as this was a server before 
running for a whole year whithout any error ;-) ..But I tried quite a lot of 
chips (11!) - always the same :-(

ooh! it seems, that my error-description was too unclear last mail.
last message XEN prints out (unfortunately i have to type it in from the 
screen ;-)


(XEN) Scrubbing DOM0 RAM: .done.

if it helps, i''ll give you the whole physical and virtual memory
arrangement.

any idas?

sure the system has ran fine for me as well for years before... it just 
that ram scrub is pretty nasty for ram.

can you make sure that you run the system exactly as speced out?
that is, it is exactly xen 2.0.1 ? no earlier, no later.

 	bk clone -rRELEASE-2.0.1 bk://xen.bkbits.net/xen-2.0.bk xen-2.0.1.bk

you can grab the tarball too if you expecify exact url even if is not 
listed on the web site.

Hey all-

I''m having trouble locating how to apply the xen patch to a Debian
kernel,
(using kernel-source-2.6.10), I''ve "patch -p1 installed
"arch-xen.patch"
and "drivers-xen.patch", but I can''t get them to compile a
kernel in any
way.

My problem seems to be using make-kpkg I don''t understand how to make
it
build with ARCH=xen, and using make ARCH=xen I get build errors such as: 
include/linux/kernel_stat.h:28: error: `NR_IRQS'' undeclared here (not
in a
function)
make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1

What command should I use, and am I going about this the right way?

(or feel free to point me to already documented help, i can''t seem to
find
any good walk throughs of this ...)

thanks

Christian''s howto explains this well for debian sarge:

http://www.xmlvalidation.com/xen_howto_sarge.0.html

If you don''t want to do NAT like he does that''s no problem,
just
ignore that bit.  The useful bit for you will be getting the xen
packages, the patch, the kernel, and using make-kpkg to patch it.

It works fine here now I have got over my AGP problem. :)
