You cannot load pvops kernel under xen-hypervisor 3.2.1 ( >=3.4.0 in general)

Hello again, Just a quick update... I was really hoping it was just going to be an issue with the kernel .config, however I copied exact configuration from the working Debain 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 kernel and used a make oldconfig but the end result was the same. After booting the xenified (2.6.31.12) or pvops kernel (2.6.31.6) via both xen-hypervisor 3.2.1 or xen-hypervisor 3.4.2 the maximum data transfer to/from the Dom0 (Xen host) is ~1MB/s. Next I plan on re-trying my efforts on a Ubuntu system to see if same network bottlenecking is present.

To: xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; viaum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Would escalate to xen-devel. 2.6.31.8 (12) aka Suse xenified was Jan Beulich stuff. He might have an answer. Boris.

Hi there, I am starting a new thread to try and solve a problem I am having will slow network throughput to the XEN host (not to a domU). I have confirmed my problem occurs with PVOPS 'xen/master' kernel as well using http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/config-2.6.31.6-pvops-dom0-xen-master-x86_64 as the .config. It also occurs with a forward ported xenified kernel (2.6.31.12) using the attached config-11-xen (.config).
However when using the xen kernel found in debain lenny (2.6.26-2) for the amd64 architecture I get similiar transfer rates to my Xen host as I do on a baremetel kernel.
Bastian Blank perhaps you could point me in the right direction in regards to a debian specific customization or patch I should be aware of?
Maxium transfer rate (to/from
hard disk) using the PVOPS 'xen/master' kernel and forward ported xenified kernel (2.6.31.12) is bottlenecking at ~1MB/s. On the debain lenny xen kernel I am getting ~4.5MB/s.I was
hoping one could suggest options in the .config that might be modified
in order to improve network throughput of a XEN kernel and therefor increase the data transfer rates over the netowork to and from the Xen host. Thanks alot for any help! As always I will be willing to accept any suggestions :) -M
