Description Ken Tanzer 2006-12-28 02:16:54 UTC
Description of problem:

Xen guest machine crashes on boot, on specific computer.  Same guest machine
runs fine on a different computer.

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

kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6
xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3

How reproducible:

Always, on this one particular machine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start guest machine
2.  Read the crash messages
  
Actual results:
Guest machine crashes

Expected results:
Guest machine runs

Additional info:

We've got a smokin' new server (computer A).  I was able to install FC6 as a
guest machine, but on reboot it crashes instantly.  I copied the config and disk
image files to a different computer (Computer B), and it runs fine.  On Computer
B, I upgraded the guest kernel, hoping this might fix it, and copied the disk
image back.  Still no luck.

Computer A (the Crasher) has 8GB of RAM, w/ 2 3GB Xeon CPUs.  We're running 32
bit (i386), not 64 bit.  Motherboard is a Supermicro X6DVA-EG2.  All current
updates have been applied.

Computer B (the working one) is a Dell PowerEdge SC420, with 512 MB RAM & single
2.8G P4.


Here's the serial console output.  I took a screenshot of the guest machine,
which has some register dump info not included in the serial output.  I can
attach it if helpful, and would be glad to provide any additional info.  Thanks.

This report targets FC6, which is now end-of-life.

Please re-test against Fedora 7 or later, and if the issue persists, open a new bug.

Thanks
