Linux (Dom0) when running under Xen can access neither the PCI bus ( 'PCI: System does not support PCI' ) nor ACPI ( 'kernel BUG at drivers/acpi/osl.c:507!' ) which eventually makes the kernel not find its root partition (acpi on) or crash (acpi off). I tried with and without ACPI enabled (acpi=off as xen-parameter, not as kernel-parameter) Some information about my system: * Debian Sid * AMD Duron based System with SIS 740 Chipset * tried: * Xen-3.0-TestCD-r3.0-1 * manually compiled xen 3 unstable dated 02.02.2006 (Kernel 2.6.15) * hardware is ok, the problem occures on a different system based on the same sis-chipset, too * Xen 2.0.6 runs fine * Kernel 2.6.15 runs fine without xen The serially logged output of two boot processes can be downloaded here: * with acpi: http://fbo.no-ip.org/m/sis-xen-acpi.txt * without acpi: http://fbo.no-ip.org/m/sis-xen-noacpi.txt What can I do to either get Xen 3 working on this system or to get an idea, where to look for the problem? Is there some trick to increase verbosity of the output? I tried all the make-parameters mentioned in the docs (verbose=y, ...) but that didn't change anything. Regards, Frank, Xen fan
