Description Chris Lalancette 2008-08-14 07:38:49 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm running a RHEL-5 i386 dom0 (with kernel 2.6.18-96.el5, and xen 3.0.3-69).  I successfully installed a F-9 i386 PV guest.  However, every time I shut down the F-9 guest, it leaves around a zombie domain.  This zombie domain will not go away until I restart xend (at which point I think it is actually still  there, but xend just chooses to ignore it).

We need to test it with the latest versions of Xen and kernel-xen packages. So, the steps to reproduce are just to install the F-9 i386 PV guest, and shut it down and then the result can be seen ?

Thanks,
Michal

Well, I did install Fedora 9 i386 PV guest on x86_64 dom0 (my workstation) and it's working fine to shutdown the F-9 guest so at least this appears not to be the issue on RHEL-5.4 x86_64 dom0 with kernel-xen-2.6.18-189.el5 and xen-3.0.3-105.el5. Unfortunately I am not having working i386 dom0 right now so I can't test it on this one.

That's what it was in the past, though obviously this bug is very old.  I'm not going to get around to testing it, and F-9 is no longer supported anyway, so I'll close this.

This bug was closed during 5.5 development and it's being removed from the internal tracking bugs (which are now for 5.6).
