Using Xen 2.0.7 on Dell 2850 in RAID 10 (MegaRaid)
I''ve noticed when booted in the Xen0 kernel the system locks up
performing
specific tasks. I first noticed this when trying to format a new
partition (mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4 and mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda4). I eventually
was able to reboot into the original kernel and format the partition but
was never successful in the Xen0 kernel.
Now I''m noticing the same lockup problems when trying to work with new
File-Backed VBDs. I''m following the instructions in the user manual
and
when performing the step to `cp -ax /{root,dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib}
/mnt` the server locks up.
Has anyone else experienced these problems or know what the problem could
be? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Luke

This has come up repeatedly (search the archives - disabling legacy USB might do it), if it isn''t in the FAQ it really should be added. -Kip On 9/4/05, Luke <luke@slhost.com> wrote:> > Using Xen 2.0.7 on Dell 2850 in RAID 10 (MegaRaid) > > I''ve noticed when booted in the Xen0 kernel the system locks up performing > specific tasks.

Maybe it''s a very similar problem in 2.0.7? Alas, a quick glance at the ACPI-code in xen shows that it''s quite a bit different from Linux''s (as used in 3.0), so backporting that fix doesn''t appear to be trivial... Kind regards, Ingo. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It was introduced into the unstable tree when the ACPI code was moved from Xen to dom0. An easy way to determine this is to simply check /proc/interrupts to see if the disk irq is being shared.
