Xen users - Jun 2007 - asus P5B Delux not booting xen (ACPI problem?)

Hi,

I''m going crazy trying to get Xen running on an ASUS P5B Delux (latest
BIOS installed).

I''ve tried xen-3.0.4 and xen-3.1.0 (both compiled from source)

The boot process stalls with
ACP: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[B] -> GSI 19 (low level) -> IRQ 18
ahci: 0000:00:1f.2: AHCI 0001.0100 32 slots 6 ports ? Gbps 0x3f impl SATA mode
ahci: 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ilck stag led pmp pio
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xE102E900 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 18
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xE102E980 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 18
ata1: port is slow to resond, please be patient
ata1: failes to respond (30 secs)
scsi0 :ahci
ata2: port is slow to resond, please be patient
ata2: failes to respond (30 secs)

booting xen-3.1.0 adds some more info to the failure:
ata1: SATA link up 3,0 Gpb (SStatus 123 Scontrol 200)
ata1: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata1: failed to identify (I/0 error, err_mask = 0x0104)
ata1: port is slow to resond, please be patient
ata1: failes to respond (30 secs)
ata1: COMRESET failed, device not ready
ata1: hardreset failded

But this doesn''t always happen. 50% of the time, the process stalls
for about 6 secs on
ACP: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[B] -> GSI 19 (low level) -> IRQ 18
And then continues correctly.

I''ve tried passing acpi=off to the kernel but this results in
ExtINT not setpup in hardware but reported by MP table.

When I boot this machine with vanilla debian etch, there are no problems.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
Chris.

AFAIK Etch contains already an xen kernel(s) - for instance x86-64 Package

Is it possible to install xen-3.1.0 but use the debian prepared kernels?

It''s a common problem with Xen that it doesn''t support new
hardware (e.g.,
965 boards) very well.  This is because Xen is based on older vanilla kernel
versions and 965 support requires a >2.6.19 vanilla kernel or else
distro-specific drivers.  Furthermore, there is no easy way to upgrade the
Xen kernels.  I had the same problem as you, although I use Fedora instead
of Debian.  It''s great that you''re able to solve your problem
using an older
version of Xen incorporated in Debian''s packages.  

I''m just commenting in this thread to make some noise about the
problem.
I''m hoping Xen will release a 3.1 version with a newer kernel, or else
make
it easier for users to upgrade their own kernels.

I got working Xen 3.1 @ Debian Etch following the howtoforge tutorial
on P5B Deluxe and was not facing such problem. Latest Bios - 6GB RAM -
memory remaping enabled.

Do you use 32bit or 64bit?

In 32bit PAE w/o any problem - running both PV and FV guests.
Everything works fine.
In 64bit am still facing some slowdown - this problem is heavy
discussed on internet. Looks like its problem by design of the i965.
This slowdown only occures when more than 2GB is installed and trying
to run under 64bit.

XenExpress is running w/o problem - easy install and HVM W2k3 server
guests are blazing fast because of PV drivers included.

According to the info of Steve Brueckner:

I have to disagree with you statement about Xen and i965 based motherboards.

Am running rock stable Gentoo 32bit Xen 3.04 with 2.6.16 server based
on Intel 965 motherboard. No stability nor speed isuess. Custom made
dom0 kernel. SW raid, LVM, SATA is running in AHCI. Only problem was
installation when I had to use CD-ROM connected via USB - minor
problem for me. From the install there is no need for CD-ROM

I am planning next with Xen 3.1 and question is which chipset. Intel
965 is facing problems with 4GB and more RAM under 64bit OS in booth
Linux and Windows. I dont have tested i3000 based server motherboard
yet and in question comes also brand new P35 chipset. Does anybody
have some experience with them?

Well, the news isn''t so good.
This morning I booted the machine and it froze with
ACPI Exeption (acpi_processor_o681) :AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is
not present [20060707]
ACPI Getting cpuindex for acpi 0x3

grr.

I hit the reset button and it gets a little further and fails at:
ata1: SATA link up 3,0 Gpb (SStatus 123 Scontrol 200)
ata1: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata1: failed to identify (I/0 error, err_mask = 0x0104)
ata1: port is slow to resond, please be patient
ata1: failes to respond (30 secs)
ata1: COMRESET failed, device not ready
ata1: hardreset failded

Exactly the same as it did with the xen3.1 I compiled by hand.

So, the 2.6.18-4 kernel that comes with the debian xen package hasn''t
solved the issue.

Perhaps I should put this machine back in its box and wait for the
next xen version? :)

Hi,

After Steve mentioned the 2.6.19 kernel, I had a look around and
discovered that ubuntu packs 2.6.19-4 in the xen package.
So I did an ubuntu installation and installed their xen package.

Same sort of results.
Sometimes it boot, sometimes it doesn''''t. And the boot process
doesn''t
always freeze at the same place either.

I''m begining to think I''ve got faulty hardware.

Any thoughts?

Chris.

Yes, that''s what I''ve been thinking. Or you''ve got a
buggy BIOS (just
because there isn''t a newer one doesn''t mean that
it''s bug free!)

Also, the fact that it''s inconistent is an indication towards it being
a
hardware problem rather than software - most of the time, software that
is reasonably well tested (e.g. 2.6.18 on Xen) is stable when it comes
to a general setup, so if it''s unstable on a particular platform, then
it''s probably because that particular platform. This is a
generalization
of course, not always true.

But, how does that explain that this machine seems to boot the vanilla
kernels ok?

Hmm. I hadn''t realized that this was the case - it makes it a bit more
suspicious that Xen is at fault, but it could simply be that the
timing/memory usage is different and causing the problem. I''ve seen
more
than one case of complaints to AMD tech support saying that "My
processor works fine with OS A, but fails when I use OS B" (A and B
usually Windows and Linux in some combination, but also different
varieties of Windows or Linux builds). In some of these cases, it turns
out that the processor is actually faulty on a particular usage pattern.
More frequently, it''s the fact that some OS''s use more power
than others
and thus generating more heat and needing a better heatsink/fan, or a
better power supply. 

I''ve seen HVM guests fail memtest86 when the entire machine running
memtest86 doesn''t show any problems.

>   RAM setting in bios?
I''m not sure what you''re looking for
DRAM Frequency [Auto] (possible options are: Auto, DDR2-533MHz,
DDR2-667MHz, DDR2-800MHz, DDR2-889MHz, DDR2-1067MHz)

and in the North Brisge Chipset Config
Memory Remap Feature [Enabled]
Configure DRAM Timing by SPD [Enabled]
Static Read Control [Auto] (possible options are: Disable, Auto, Fast, Faster)

If you are looking for something else, don''t hesitate in asking me.

Thanks.
Chris.
