Re: [Xen-users] Dom0 and Domu sharing a physical IRQ results ineventual
on my old xen 3.0.1-->3.0.3 servers i had to install 'irqbalance' to keep them from crashing. it's worth a try:

As previously discussed in the list,
adding noirqdebug
to your dom0 kernel line *may*
solve the issue. However, don't
get your hopes too high, as sharing irq's
across domains is problematic at best. Your
best bet is to try enabling any apic/ioapic options
in the bios, as this may reduce/eliminate irq sharing. Again, that is a may, both of the machines
that I have available to me (two different chipsets) create identical irq maps regardless, but your mileage may vary.
I have one xen
machine where dom0 libata and pcibacked domU eth0 share a physical
IRQ. I thought that the disk was bad (cause the system was crashing and
giveing me disk errors) and replaced it with an IDE disk connected to a
pcibacked SATA-IDE combo card. Problem seems to have gone away. The
machine runs stably and hasn't crashed yet.
Now I have another machine where I pciback usb. The usb port in domU
shares a physical irq with the dom0 libata. The machine crashes every few
hours with disk errors. In the domU, I see usb related errors as
well (usblp removed, etc.).
Is there anyway to prevent the irq sharing? I think this is the cause of
the crash.
Thanks
Chris
