Re: [Xen-devel] Re: system freeze when processor.ko is loaded during boot

Hello Yunhong,

thanks for your reply, I am sorry it took me so long to respond.

I ran 2.6.32.25 from Jeremy's branch, no change - system still freezes
if processor.ko is loaded at boot time.

xen-unstable changeset:   22417:c0c1f5f0745e
xen/stable-2.6.32.x commit: 481bd8e6b8dafed2ea445e8cde2abbbb95b49ec1

There was a bug in .32 branch on processor before, which should have
been fixed. And can you share the boot log and the feature supported in
this platform?

dmesg.txt (from non-xen kernel) is attached.

I played around with the hpet_broadcast xen paramter, but it didn't have
an effect.
