Hello

same problem here.

Supermicro Board
XEON E5506

xm dmesg:
(XEN) traps.c:2230:d11 Domain attempted WRMSR 000000000000008b from
00000011:00000000 to 00000000:00000000.

domU hangs here with 400% CPU load (4 vcpus)
(same problem with 1 vcpu)

...
[    1.807477] kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
[    2.005607] EXT3 FS on xvda1, internal journal
[    2.005618] EXT3-fs: recovery complete.
[    2.005626] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with writeback data mode.
[    2.005643] VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 202:1.
[    2.005727] Freeing unused kernel memory: 580k freed
[    2.005892] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 8160k

here it hangs

2.6.32.15 there is no problem. I have used the same .config for 2.6.32.16.

I have recompiled it with no energy save option, same error.
C1 and else are disabled in BIOS.

Gio
