Please bear with me, I''m fairly new to Xen. Before I describe the
issue, here''s the hardware/software of the system.
Hardware, RLX 800i blade server (800 MHz Pentium III, 1GB RAM)
Xen version: 2.0.7
dom0 OS: Debian Sarge, given 400 M of RAM, root filesystem on /
dev/hda
domU OS: Debian Etch, given 400 M of RAM, root filesystem a disk
image, also on /dev/hda, and also
has another image presented as /dev/sdb1, and /dev/hdc1
presented as /dev/sdb2
/dev/sdb2 is mounted in the domU on /data, and into this I have
loaded a benchmark suite that we usually use for evaluating hardware
for benchmarking various bioinformatics codes.
I have run this benchmark suite successfully under a regular Debian
Sarge kernel on the machine, and again successfully under dom0, but
as soon as I run it in the domU VM, the VM reboots. It seems to do
so cleanly; I can''t find any error messages - it just behaves as
though someone typed ''reboot'' in it.
The domU console doesn''t show any errors, and the xend log reports
the following:
[2006-01-12 13:27:38 xend] INFO (console:44) Console connected 10
127.0.0.1 3424
[2006-01-12 13:27:38 xend] INFO (XendRoot:113) EVENT>
xend.console.connect [10, ''127.0.0.1'', 3424]
At this point, I start the benchmark script at the domU''s console.

xend.domain.exit [''isg-vm-1'', ''1'',
''reboot'']
One thing that triggers this behaviour instantly is if I interrupt
the script. For example, if I ssh into the virual machine, start the
benchmark, and then press Ctrl-C, this is what I see:
isg-vm-1:/data/benchmark# ./run_tests.pl
./run_tests.pl on isg-vm-1
interrupted.
Running tasks:
1326 ARRAY(0x823e420)
isg-vm-1:/mnt/benchmark#
Broadcast message from root (console) (Thu Jan 12 16:10:22 2006):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
Connection to isg-vm-1 closed by remote host.
Connection to isg-vm-1 closed.
So it looks like maybe something very strange may be going on with
signals...
