Thread-topic: can't boot 32-bit SLES10 HVMs using c/s 14875 on x86_64 Xen

I cannot boot 32-bit SLES10 HVMs since changeset 14201.

 

32-bit SLES10 hvm (4x 2gb) hangs in blue SUSE Linux screen

32-bit SLES10 PAE  (4x 16gb) kernel panics as follows:

     Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

     Badness in smp_call_function at arch/i386/kernel/smp.c:595

 

Neither serial port nor logs give any indication what is happening.

 

I saw changes in changeset 14392 to 32bit bios support module, so rebuilt with changeset 14391and retried the 32-bit SLES10 non-PAE and it boots fine.

 

Has anyone else had problems booting 32-bit SLES10 hvms on 64-bit hypervisor?

 

Thanks,
