[Xen-users] 3.1.x -> 3.2.1 and now Windows 2008 won''t install
I upgraded from 3.1.x to 3.2.1 (Debian package) a while ago and just tried to install Windows 2008 again and it won''t install. I''m pretty sure I have an identical config to when I last installed it, but it just crashes: # xm list w2k8test32 Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) w2k8test32 892 512 1 ----c- 112.3 # xm dmesg (XEN) domain_crash called from svm.c:84 (XEN) Domain 892 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: (XEN) ----[ Xen-3.2-1 x86_64 debug=n Not tainted ]---- (XEN) CPU: 0 (XEN) RIP: 001b:[<0000000071b7affa>] (XEN) RFLAGS: 0000000000000246 CONTEXT: hvm (XEN) rax: 0000000000040f33 rbx: 0000000000000800 rcx: 0000000000002001 (XEN) rdx: 000000000789fbff rsi: 0000000071b7af84 rdi: 0000000000000002 (XEN) rbp: 000000000175f030 rsp: 000000000175f010 r8: 0000000000000000 (XEN) r9: 0000000000000000 r10: 0000000000000000 r11: 0000000000000000 (XEN) r12: 0000000000000000 r13: 0000000000000000 r14: 0000000000000000 (XEN) r15: 0000000000000000 cr0: 000000008001003b cr4: 00000000000006b9 (XEN) cr3: 000000001fbe72e0 cr2: 0000000071be53bc (XEN) ds: 0023 es: 0023 fs: 003b gs: 0000 ss: 0023 cs: 001b It gets all the way through to "Completing Installation .." but then just hangs there in the ''c - crash'' state. It''s the 32 bit Enterprise Edition of 2008 RTM. Thanks James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I can''t get much above 30-40 on F8 before I start getting the infamous ''hotplug scripts not working: vifx.y''. Rebooting dom0 restores proper functionality in my case. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I was up to well over 3000 the other day before I rebooted, and it was only then that I started having problems. It seems that every time a domain ends it leaves a certain about of cruft in the xenstore database, and eventually there is enough cruft in there that ''xenstore -ls'' causes a kernel bug, and ''xm create'' takes minutes rather than milliseconds to do anything. The reason my numbers get that high is that I''ve been running ''xm save'', and ''xm restore'' in a loop testing the gplpv drivers, and it routinely gets up to over 500 before it crashes. I think I''ve fixed all the crashes now though. James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
