RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alexander Todorov 2010-05-24 15:51:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to start RHEL6 snap5 (0523.0) as FV xen guest on sun-x4440-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com (RHEL5.5 GA, x86_64) results in kernel panic in the guest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host: RHEL 5.5 GA, x86_64, 
guest: RHEL6.0-20100523.0/Server/x86_64, kernel 2.6.32-28

How reproducible:
Always on that particular host

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using virt-manager create new guest
2. Select Linux/RHEL6 for OS type/variant, select to boot from boot.iso
3. Proceed with default settings.
  
Actual results:
Guest shows the inital grub menu. When the installer boots there's kernel panic. 

Expected results:
Guest boots into anaconda. 

Additional info:
Looks similar to bug 570496. Also on the guest console I see this timeout: 
XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s...290s...285s...280s...275s...270s...265s...260s...255s...250s...245s...240s...235s...230s...225s...220s...215s...210s...205s...200s...195s...190s...185s...180s...175s...170s...165s...160s...155s...150s...145s...140s...135s...130s...125s...120s...115s...110s...105s...100s...95s...90s...85s...80s...75s...70s...65s...60s...55s...50s...45s...40s...35s...30s...25s...20s...15s...10s...5s...0s...

which is related to bug 396621
