Hello all, I have a problem with Xen 4.0.1 crashing on my box running Debian unstable. Hardware specs: Intel Core i3 CPU Gigabyte P55-UD3L mainboard with virtualization enabled 4G RAM 320G SATA disk I managed to get a crash log using a serial console, http://pastebin.com/6VcByQD4 Could anyone give me a hint on what next ? By the way, Xen live CD 2.0 starts on the same machine just fine. Thanks, Kiss Karoly _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I see some bug reports for debain about 2.6.32-5-xen-686 and PAE. Your best bet is to redo everything to x86_64/amd64. I run C2Duo on Gigabyte P45 based MB with everything amd64. Squeeze dom0 is flawless except for missing tap/tap2 support. Once Waldi fixes xen-utils-4.0 and re-enables tap/tap2 it will be my main dom0. -- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I see some bug reports for debain about 2.6.32-5-xen-686 and PAE.It''s an i3-550.> Your best bet is to redo everything to x86_64/amd64.Tried Xen 4.0.1 amd64 + 2.6.32-5-amd64 from stock debian unstable. The same result, only it crashes a lot sooner: [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset (XEN) d0:v0: unhandled page fault (ec=0000) (XEN) Pagetable walk from ffff812000002480: Any other ideas ?

Tried an older kernel 2.6.26-2-xen which worked with both hypervisors 32/64 bits, but had problems with AHCI ... Without AHCI the system started up fine, then the nv driver failed to recognize my Nvidia 460 GTX video card, and nvidia factory drivers don''t support xen so I might have to postpone playing with xen for a while. Thanks for the help anyway. Regards, Kiss Karoly _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
