I just saw this kernel panic. I''ve been running Xen for over a year, and this particular combination of software for a couple weeks.

I have no oops, but very strange problems with NFS mounting and locking. Maybe either in XEN or in the NFS there''s an odd bug that triggers rarely. My guess... Could it be in your case that you are out of memory? Ulrich On 6 Feb 2007 at 10:18, Tom Marshall wrote:> I just saw this kernel panic.

My guess...I do have NFS mounts on the domU machine, but only for shared LAN resources (eg. not /usr or anything OS related).> Could it be in your case that you are out of memory?Yes, that is possible. The issue is not necessarily Xen related. I just figured I''d toss the panic info out to the list since the machine has been so stable and the kernel is a binary image from xensource. If I see another issue, I''ll get more serious about trying to track it down. Thx! -- "Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything!

My domU died twice today (centos 3.8 using kernel 2.4.21-47.EL.xs10xenU from xensource). The first time it hung and I got just the top couple lines from an oops on the console. It looked similar but not identical to the previous report. The domU has previously been running with 1024M and no swap, so I added 512M of swap to the machine in hopes that would cure the issue. No such luck, the second time it restarted itself. Both times I was using the machine to compile some code (RPM packages) and edit a file. The second time, I lost a couple hours of editing, as I''m not used to my Linux machines spontaneously rebooting. :/ If anyone has any idea what is wrong, and especially how to fix it, I would be most grateful. If not, I''ll just consider 2.4.21-47.EL.xs10xenU unusable and go back to the (hopefully) stable 2.6.16.33-xenU kernel.
