[Xen-users] Can''t start PV domU (2.6.27) on HP Proliant DL320 G5p

Hello,

I''m using Xen on many servers but I''ve got a very strange
problems
now on new hardware.

The server is a HP Proliant DL320 G5p Xeon X3320 (QC 2,5 GHz) with
8 Go DDR2 memory, 2x1TB SAS drives and a Smart Array E200i/128 RAID  
card.

I''ve installed Debian etch and lenny with a custom Xen 3.3.0 or
Lenny''s Xen 3.2.1 (2.6.26-1)

When starting the domaine I''ve got either :

arwen:/etc/xen/vds# xm create -c vds/awc
Using config file "/etc/xen/vds/awc".
Started domain awc
arwen:/etc/xen/vds#

either :

arwen:/etc/xen/vds# xm create -c vds/awc
Using config file "/etc/xen/vds/awc".
Started domain awc
Unexpected error: <type ''exceptions.OSError''>

Please report to xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

in do_console
     (p, rv) = os.waitpid(cpid, os.WNOHANG)
OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes



On xend.log I''ve got :

[2008-12-13 00:25:44 3047] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1914)  
XendDomainInfo.destroyDomain(375)


The kernel 2.6.18-XenU works but neither mine (2.6.27.8-em64t-XenU),
neither Ubuntu''s kernel.


The same installation with Lenny and Xen 3.2.1 (2.6.26-1) on a Sun Fire
X2100 M2 server works well without any issue. It looks like a low level
hardware issue (CPU, BIOS ? ...).


Regards,

Fred.

Re: [Xen-users] Can''t start PV domU (2.6.27) on HP Proliant DL320G5p

Hello,

I had/have same issue with with dell 755 optiplex intel core 2 quad. 
Base machine is a gentoo. with 2.6.21-xen kernel, custom compiled. HVM 
guests work ok, but pv guests don''t. Tried compiling kernel few times 
with different options with no luck. Stock ubuntu kernel (can''t
remember
the version I tried) shutdowns with different message but doesn''t work 
either..

I''ve found a temporary solution with Debian Lenny and it''s Xen
kernel
2.6.26-xen0/xenU

I''ve plan to move all my Xen servers to Sun xVM Server + Sun xVM Ops  
Center 2 in 2009 in order to avoid such issues.
