Xen users - Feb 2006 - The linux-2.6-xen hg kernel is oopsing on xen-unstable change set 3.0.0_8819

Hi,

I''m trying to find a stable xen/kernel combination that
doesn''t
require me to stick with 2.6.12.

I''ve compiled the linux-2.6.16-xen tree from mercurial and it
initially appeared fine. I assumed that this kernel is intended to be
run with the xen-unstable tree, so I also compiled and installed the
unstable mercurial tree at changeset 8819.

On torture testing the setup (transferring the kernel tree via scp,
looped access to a lighttpd) I''m getting oops'' in the domUs.

I have the oops dumps, so I''m looking for the best way forward: are
they of use to the xen guys?

Should the hg kernel tree work ok with 3.0.0 unstable?

FWIW, I''ve been running an x86_64 compiled version of  8819 on an 
athlon64 for a few days and stress tested it reasonably thoroughly and 
haven''t seen any problems. Just tried large scp''s as well and
no problem.

Thanks for the info Tupshin, but I''m running on x86_32 smp and I get a
similar oops when using the kernel 2.6.16-rc2 from the latest
xen-unstable too. The failure appears to be in smp-xen in the softirq
code.

Is this the wrong place to be mentioning it or are kernel oopses not
interesting to the xen team?
