Hi, I''m running XCP 0.1.1 and have a virtual debian-lenny machine configured as a router/firewall using iptables. I''ve had the same kernel panic twice now during testing of the bandwidth from a machine behind the router. Attached is the screen dump from XVP Viewer. Any idea what is wrong? I''m no kernel expert but it seems to me like the crash happens somewhere in the Xen code. I''ve now performed a dist-upgrade on the virtual machine and hopefully that will help. Will let you know if it happens again. Thanks! Trygve -- HypoBytes Ltd.

[Xen-users] Re: kernel panic in xcp debian vm
I did some more testing today with a fully patched Debian Lenny VM, but unfortunately I got the same error after a short time. I''m planning an upgrade to XCP 0.5 soon, does anybody know if that could help?

[Xen-users] Re: kernel panic in xcp debian vm
I have not been able to upgrade my systems to XCP 0.5 yet, but I have some additional information that might help someone get to the cause of this error. My setup is quite simple. I have one Debian Lenny VM acting as a firewall/router (FW) between the WAN and the LAN - traffic from the LAN VMs to the ISP passes through this machine. I''m using Corosync/Pacemaker to provide HA - it switches the global IP to an identical FW VM on a different physical XCP host in case of failure. This kicks in perfectly when the kernel panic occurs. It seems to me like the error only occurs when the system has been running for a while. On a Windows VM on the LAN I go to www.speedtest.net and perform a bandwidth test. This causes the FW to panic before the first test can finish, but when I restart the FW and do more tests, the panic no longer happens. During normal operation, which involves very little traffic it must be said, I''ve never seen the error. I can''t find the call trace for the kernel panic in the VM logs, and the free online OCR tools seem to translate my screenshot wrongly. So I''m providing the call trace as text here: xennet_poll+0x94d/0x9ef [xen_netfront] tick_program_event+0x1f/0x23 net_rx_action+0x9c/0x177 __do_softirq+0x45/0x53 irq_exit+0x35/0x69 do_IRQ+0x52/0x63 xen_evtchn_do_upcall+0x7/0xc _stext+0x3a7/0x1000 xen_safe_halt+0xd/0x17 xen_idle+0x0/0x3a xen_idle+0x2b/0x3a xen_idle+0xb0/0xd0 ===========================Code: 00 00 00 00 c7 43 04 00 00 00 00 89 10 89 42 04 8b 44 24 04 89 43 14 0f b6 54 24 0c 89 14 24 89 d6 83 bc 97 c4 08 00 00 00 74 04 <0f> 0b eb fe 89 9c 97 c4 08 00 00 8d 87 c4 0c 00 00 e8 03 22 9f xennet_alloc_rx_buffers+0x176/0x26f [xen_netfront] SS:ESP 0069:c0393e34 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Any help is much appreciated.

Re: [Xen-users] Re: kernel panic in xcp debian vm
I finally got around to upgrade my systems 10 days ago, and it''s been running stable thereafter. Today I tried to bring it down using the "speedtest" test described below, but no problem occurred :) Looks like the problem is solved in 0.5 vs. 0.1.1. I also had problems with the network from some VMs getting isolated (unreachable from other VMs in the pool), but I''ve not seen this problem either since upgrading. Many thanks for your help and good work!
