Spot - Can you report on the current state on the latest beta spin?

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2006-10-19 22:32:09 UTC

No change:

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2006-10-26 20:14:52 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 5 Daniel Riek 2007-01-04 02:31:38 UTC

Solaris at this point is not a high priority. Does the problem still exist in
current snapshots? If yest I'd like to move this off to 5.1

Comment 6 Daniel Berrangé 2007-01-04 15:40:53 UTC

Spot - can you upload the config file from /etc/xen that you use to boot the
Solaris 10 guest with. Second, can you also say whether you've tried UP or SMP,
and whether you've tried turning on / off  acpi, apic, pae  settings in the
guest config, and finally whether its 32 or 64 bit Solaris ?  Finally, finally,
can you also attach the xend.log & xend-debug.log logfiles from /var/log/xen -
preferrably captured just after you've tried to boot a solaris guest.

Indications from upstream xen community are that Solaris 10 HVM guests do work
on Xen 3.0.4, so it could be a problem with our 3.0.3 based Xen, or a
configuration issue.

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2007-09-07 20:03:13 UTC

This request was previously evaluated by Red Hat Product Management
for inclusion in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release, but
Red Hat was unable to resolve it in time.  This request will be
reviewed for a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
