Re: [Xen-users] Options for >4GB setups
Seems like there's a lot of activity going on with x86_64. :-)
Today I got the latest seed archive to attempt to get a Dell SC1425
(Dual Xeon EM64T) up and running with Xen. Without trying the default
install, I tried building a with a custom kernel config and found out
that compiling in SMP and HyperThreading support causes the boot
process to barf. Rolling back to the default build, I get stuck with
an error pointing to:
arch/xen/x86_64/mm/hypervisor.c:64
BUG_ON(HYPERVISOR_mmu_update(&u, 1, NULL, DOMID_SELF) < 0);
Well, at least it got farther than my last attempt. :-)
