Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2007-05-13 21:37:00 UTC
The -2925.5.fc7  has known data corruptions bugs. Please update to latest
rawhide & retest. The current latest kernel version is kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.8.fc7


Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2007-05-14 07:42:10 UTC
I can reproduce this with 2.6.20-2925.7.fc7 32 bit kernel (not 64 bit), so I had
assumed it was related to the 32 bit upcall problem which Stephen Tweedie fixed.
 Will test again with latest kernel.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2007-05-14 11:43:28 UTC
I don't see this happening on the .8. kernel.

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2007-05-15 20:30:16 UTC
I can't see this problem in 2.6.20-2925.8 no longer, too.
