Description Tetsu Yamamoto 2007-10-08 15:21:21 UTC
Description of problem:
  IA64 guest firmware has a regression.
  At Snapshot8, guest firmware version on supplementary CD was as follows:
    xen-ia64-guest-firmware-1.0.11-1.ia64.rpm
  But at RC, the version goes back as follows:
    xen-ia64-guest-firmware-1.0.0-8.ia64.rpm
  This causes several problems such as: 
  - Cannot use NVRAM
  - Cannot access over 8GB region in HDD
  - Cannot use Windows Guest which has 12GB memory
  - Cannot use PV-driver

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
   Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version Number: RHEL5.1 
   Release Number: RHEL5.1 Release Candidate
   Architecture: IA64
   Kernel Version: kernel-xen-2.6.18-36.el5
   Related Package Version: xen-ia64-guest-firmware-1.0.0-8.ia64.rpm
   Related Middleware/Application: None


How reproducible:
   Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a Windows guest with 12GB memory
  
Actual results:
  Can not create the guest

Expected results:
  Can create the guest

Additional info:
  Snapshot8 worked fine.

Not sure how it happened, but yeah, we included the older firmware there for some reason. I've already 
notified our release engineering group to make sure it gets corrected in the next spin. In the interim, 
please test with the newer guest firmware off the older CD. Sorry for the confusion!
