Booting problem of Xen-4.0.1 on Fedora 13 using Intel chipset & processor

[Jagadish Nadimpalli]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 890 bytes --]

Hi,

I am facing a problem in booting Xen-4.0.1 on Fedora 13. The Xen RPM
installation is successful but when I try to boot from DOM0 Kernel, it
fails. Other details of my machine are as follows.
(1) Kernel version 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64.
(2) Chipset - Intel 82Q35
(3) Processor - Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz

The error and the call trace are as follows.

Xen call trace
==========
xsave_init + 0x6d/0x1f0
init_intel + 0x13d/0x380
generic_identity + 0x39/0x190
identify_cpu + 0xe2/0x250
__start_xen + 0x2ec6/0x3340
__high_start + 0xa1/0xa3

Error message:
===========
Panic on CPU 0:
Xen BUG at i387.c:159

Please note that same installation worked on the following setup.
(1) Chipset - Nvidia MCP55
(2) Processor - AMD Athlon dual core 4450B

Did anybody see this kind of issues on Intel processor and chipsets. Please
help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Jagadish

Hi Pasi,

I did the setup using the procedure mentioned in the link that you
suggested. But with that only I observed this issue. I searched for
solutions on this problem but couldn't find any. Please let me know if there
is some solution for this.

Thanks for responding.

Thanks & Regards,

I think that got fixed in the latest hypervisor - is there an updated version of the Xen RPM?
Where did you get the Xen RPM from?

Hi,

I have taken the hypervisor using "wget
http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/xen-4.0.1-1.fc14.src.rpm". I think it is
latest version.

Thanks & Regards,

Mr. Pasi,

I think you might need to upgrade that source RPM. I remember Intel folks posting
a patch for XSAVE and it broke some machines. There was a workaround, but I don't remember
the details (post vacation amnesia :-).

Hehe.

That's actually just a copy of the official Fedora src.rpm :)

Michael: Do you feel comfortable with adding some bugfix patches
from xen-4.0-testing.hg to fedora xen-4.0.1-2 rpms? 

I think at least earlier Fedora xen rpms had (extra) patches applied to fix bugs..

I don't have a problem with adding hand-picked patches to the offical 
Fedora rpms, if I know which ones they are. As it happens I was about 
to do a build with one or two IRQ fixes in it. In preparation I did an 
unofficial test build of yesterday's 4.0.2-rc1-pre for f13 which is 
currently at 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2478501
