[Xen-users] xen-3.0.3 occur kernel panic

[Wei Jiang <WEI.JIANG@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

the xen-3.0.3 will occur a kernel panic when attempt to run
a full virtualization guest OS.

the configure of guest OS as below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Automatically generated xen config file
name = "fvguest"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "500"
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/fvguest,hda,w', ]
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:23:21:ec, bridge=xenbr0', ]
uuid = "7301d7ec-e036-11d7-d14b-b21be1c783be"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1

vcpus=1
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I run such a guest OS, the kernel panic is occurred.

# xm create fvguest

>From the kernel panic message, I doubt  this  is qemu-dm bug, so I download the xen 3.0.3
from official site. I recompiled the qemu-dm and used it instead of the system qemu-dm. But the
panic was still occurred  when running the 'xm create fvguest'. Look the /var/log/message and
/var/log/xen/*, there are no any useful message .

could anybody  show any  helps  or  advices?  Also, If I want to debug it, what I need to do?
As I know, the kdump is not supported in xen kernel.

Thanks advances,

WJ
