Description Stephen Tweedie 2006-10-27 20:41:24 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #211444 +++

Description of problem:

DomU/DomVTI cannot boot on IA64 for latest FC6Test3


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -qa |grep xen
kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
xen-libs-3.0.3-0.1.rc3
xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3
kernel-xen-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6
python-xeninst-0.92.0-2


How reproducible:
Every time 

Steps to Reproduce:
for DomU
# xm create  /xen/image/rhel4_1.conf 

for DomVTI
# xm create -f /etc/xen/xmexample.vti
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

DomU and DomVTI boots.

Additional info:
I will show 2 logs, DomU and DomVTI.

Anyway our team found this bug today, 
so forgive me the information is not enough.
We are checking this problem now.

This should be fixed by xen-rc4.
See the changeset 11747(xen-3.0.3-testing)
http://xenbits2.xensource.com/xen-3.0.3-testing.hg?cl=11747

Confirmed fixed in which kernel exactly, please?  Thanks.

This problem is fixed by 2736.el5.
Of course, 2798.fc6 is not fixed yet.
