RE: [Xen-users] xen-unstable amd64 troubles

Hi Ian,

I did a somehow complex network setup. I'm using a bridged setup with one domU as firewall-host, connected to an 'internal'-bridge. The internal domUs mount some network-filesystems exported from dom0. The machines didn't do any work at all when crashing, they just idled. I waited for the panic to come back. ;-)

I checked with xm dmesg if the gnttab_transfer messages came back. Once they did, the two external domains had been crashed (the ones, connected to xenbr0, the bridge connected to the real network).

Thanks for your help,

Thomas

Thomas. What were you doing on the machine at the time? Was there a lot
of inter-domain or domain-to-external networking activity going on?

Which domain did the crash messsage come from?

Please post the diff of your config vs our -xen0 config.

Thanks,
Ian

please excuse my late reply, but I had a lot of work to do
last night. I tried the latest changeset again this morning,
but got the same problems again.

I customized the kernel to accomplish my hardware needs.
The machine got 1500MB of mem, Dom0 got 512 from these, the
other 3 DomUs got 256.

I'm almost sure, that my kernel-config is right for my machine.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
