This is not exactly correct. I have two XEN hosts, one is a dual Pentium III machine, the other a single CPU Pentium IV machine (no HT). The kernel works on the SMP machine. It does not work on the single CPU server (I had to go back to 2.6.16-1.2096). So the problem seems to be related to the number of CPUs. RedHat: You might want to regression test your kernels not just on the latest and greatest hardware... ;-) Could we please raise the severity to high? My experience with RedHat Bugzilla is, that Severity: normal bugs are left alone for a very long time... :-( In my case it is not so. I have a Dell PE 6650 with 4 cpus. It fails with both HT enabled (8 cpus) and disabled from bios (4) with the same error as Chris Petersen's one. I upgraded from 2054 to 2111 so that I have not the 2096 one to test. Where can I pick it? Gianluca BTW: can I disable HT at runtime in dom0 boot string? I can confirm the HT thing -- my box has HT enabled. I could also test a dual athlon MP server and the problem is the same. Also with xen 3.0.2 rpm from testing. The system is configured with yum update run right today. kernel 2111 (and devel one 2113) don't work, while 2096 is ok, in the sense that xend starts. So my working config is: [root@fedora ~]# uname -r 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5xen0 [root@fedora ~]# rpm -q xen xen-3.0.2-0.FC5.1 cat /proc/cpuinfo give 2 x: vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2200+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1800.111 cache size : 256 KB and [root@fedora ~]# xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 256 2 r----- 352.1 I have no doamins configured at this moment..... Let me know if I can help debugging things... I have also to notice that still with 2096 kernel, the command /usr/sbin/xend start seems to not complete as with the ko kernels.... See below; I don't know if this is correct and always happened before. I'm just starting testing xen... [root@fedora ~]# ps -ef|grep xen | grep -v grep root 12 11 0 22:40 ? 00:00:00 [xenwatch] root 13 11 0 22:40 ? 00:00:00 [xenbus] root 2714 1 0 22:41 ? 00:00:00 xenstored --pid-file=/var/run/xenstore.pid root 2717 1 0 22:41 ? 00:00:00 xenconsoled root 2719 1 0 22:41 ? 00:00:00 python /usr/sbin/xend start root 2721 2719 0 22:41 ? 00:00:00 python /usr/sbin/xend start [root@fedora ~]# strace -p 2719 Process 2719 attached - interrupt to quit waitpid(2721, <unfinished ...> Process 2719 detached [root@fedora ~]# strace -p 2721 Process 2721 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x87b3188, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL <unfinished ...> and this process continues to stay in this state. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports where the reporter has disappeared. If you can reproduce this bug after installing all the current updates, please reopen this bug. If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap. Thank you. |
Description of problem: Upgraded to kernel-xen0-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 and suddenly my xen stuff wouldn't work. It seems that "xend restart" hangs (stays in the process list but doesn't go anywhere). No errors to report. Any attempt to do anything with xm results in: Error connecting to xend: Connection refused. Is xend running? Reverting to 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 fixes the problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 How reproducible: every time
