RHEL6.2-20110921.1_HVM.png
Additional info: 1. Install HVM or PV guest from RHEL6.2-20110907.1 tree(kernel-2.6.32-195.el6), the guest works well after installation. 2. Upgrade the RHEL6.2-20110907.1 guest's kernel to kernel-2.6.32-201.el6, the guest can boot successfully. Something wrong with initrd that installer (and not the only installer) from RHEL6.2-20110921.1 creates. I've tried to install it on intel-mahobay-01.lab.bos.redhat.com while testing xen's smep patches: virt-install -p -n rh62 -r 1024 -s 6 -f /var/lib/xen/images/rh62pv --nographics -l http://download.lab.bos.redhat.com/rel-eng/RHEL6.2-20110921.1/6.2/Server/x86_64/os 1. And have the same panic with guest log similar to RHEL6.2-20110921.1_pv.log. Then I've copied 61 kernel and initrd to that vm and booted it successfully. 2. Manual creation of initrd, on installed RHEL6.2-20110921.1, doesn't helped either. 3. initrd created on rhel6.1 guest for RHEL6.2-20110921.1 kernel is correct, and I can boot guest with 2.6.32-201 kernel. And log has message: blkfront: xvda: barriers disabled xvda: xvda1 xvda2 => dracut: Scanning devices xvda2 for LVM logical volumes vg_dhcp472/lv_root vg_dhcp472/lv_swap whether guest that failed to boot doesn't have it. So it is not kernel bug but rather dracut bug. Changing component to dracut. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 740786 *** |
Description of problem: RHEL6.2 guest crash on RHEL5.7 xen host, both 32bit and 64bit, both HVM and PV Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): guest: kernel-2.6.32-201.el6 host: xen-3.0.3-134.el5 kernel-2.6.18-274.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a HVM and a PV guest from RHEL6.2-20110921.1 tree (kernel-2.6.32-201.el6). 2. Boot the PV guest. 3. Boot the HVM guest with "tap:aio+xvda" disk param. 4. Boot the HVM guest with "file+hda" disk param and with xen_emul_unplug=never in guest kernel command line. Actual results: 1. For step 2, the guest crash with the init process killed, show in RHEL6.2-20110921.1_pv.log. 2. For step 3, the guest crash at the same step as pv guest: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-201.el6.x86_64 #1 3. For step 4, the guest crash as RHEL6.2-20110921.1_HVM.png show. Expected results: The guest should be boot successfully at any of the three condition. Additional info: The RHEL6.2-20110921.1 boot successfully in baremetal machine.
