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. do_IRQ+0x9e/0xbc ======================= BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, lvm/255, c0763694 (Not tainted) [<c0405707>] dump_trace+0x69/0x1af [<c0405865>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x18/0x2c [<c0405e05>] show_trace+0xf/0x11 [<c0405e34>] dump_stack+0x15/0x17 [<c04e09d7>] _raw_spin_lock+0xbf/0xdc [<c0411935>] mm_unpin+0x17/0x2b [<c0411ab4>] _arch_exit_mmap+0x16b/0x173 [<c045770a>] exit_mmap+0x1c/0xf6 [<c041a49a>] mmput+0x34/0x7a [<c041eee5>] do_exit+0x20b/0x776 [<c0405da6>] die+0x289/0x2ae [<c04063af>] do_invalid_op+0xa2/0xab [<c040502b>] error_code+0x2b/0x30 DWARF2 unwinder stuck at error_code+0x2b/0x30 Leftover inexact backtrace: [<c0414645>] xen_l2_entry_update+0x7c/0x8b [<c0453841>] __pte_alloc+0x1a2/0x21d [<c0453a82>] __handle_mm_fault+0x1c6/0x10bf [<c048e2c4>] load_elf_binary+0x153e/0x162e [<c04ddb48>] rb_insert_color+0x4c/0xad [<c060a917>] do_page_fault+0x6f6/0xc3c [<c04587b0>] do_brk+0x1de/0x214 [<c060a221>] do_page_fault+0x0/0xc3c [<c040502b>] error_code+0x2b/0x30 =======================
