Has anyone tried to get Xen 2.0.7 booting on a VIA EPIA board with a
VIA C3 CPU?
yes, but not successfully. :)
I know some of the EPIA mainboards have a CPU with
"features" (4kb pages and no cmov instruction) that require the patch
Adam Sulmicki put together for 2.0.0 and 2.0.1
(http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-12/txt8D0L7RWimG.txt),
Mine is a VIA EPIA PD6000, regarding which /proc/cpuinfo says:
machine:/proc# more /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : CentaurHauls
cpu family : 6
model : 7
model name : VIA Samuel 2
stepping : 3
cpu MHz : 601.505
cache size : 64 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow
bogomips : 1187.84
and I have managed to patch, compile and boot a NetBSD dom0
sucessfully with this version.
I found this patch didn't go in cleanly (any more?) into testing (there were a
couple of changes to semi-magic constants in the codebase), and so I had to
hand-insert a couple of chunks ... I won't post patches just yet in case my
asm skills are as rusty as others' in the thread purport to be. :)
...
(which is a great step forward from the immediate reboot
without it),
quite :)
however the whole thing halts with "(XEN) Unknown
interrupt" just after "XEN) System RAM: 509MB (521852kB)".
I've gotten to this failure now (well, I have less RAM).
So it's been a month since Chris posted orginally ... has anyone
made any progress beyond this point, or is this breaking new ground?
Cheers,
