Description of problem: Installed FC5 on a P4/HT / Promise FastTrack SX6000 (Raid5). Upgraded to xen (2096 kernel) When restarting every time the i2o module loads (while startup) it crashes the system and immediately reboots it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XEN-Kernel 2.6.15-1 2096 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC5 on P4(HT)/Asus/2GB RAM/Promise FastTrack SX6000 BIOS 1.1.xxx) 2. Yum install xen, xen-kernel etc. 3. Restart the system Actual results: Crashes while starting and automaticly reboots Expected results: Normal startup Additional info: Is there some kind of redhat specific kernel boot parameter which prevents the kernel immediately to reboot to see the exact reason?
Tried all sense making kernel options such as apci=off noapic molapic nosmp pci=nobios,noacpi,nommconf,nosort,routeirq (panic=20) (nofb to be sure that the problem is not framebuffer related) but no success. The Promise BIOS rev. is 1.10.000
Same result on a HP Proliant DL380 G3 booting from a cciss RAID 5 controller. Going back to VMWare server now I think. :)
Is this still reproducible on the latest stable release+updates? Thanks.
I have abandoned Xen in favour of VMWare so I won't be testing this. Perhaps someone at Red Hat or HP can try some testing.
