Hello,

I'm using Xen on many servers but I've got a very strange problems
now on new hardware.

The server is a HP Proliant DL320 G5p Xeon X3320 (QC 2,5 GHz) with
8 Go DDR2 memory, 2x1TB SAS drives and a Smart Array E200i/128 RAID card.

I've installed Debian etch and lenny with a custom Xen 3.3.0 or
Lenny's Xen 3.2.1 (2.6.26-1)

When starting the domaine I've got either :

arwen:/etc/xen/vds# xm create -c vds/awc
Using config file "/etc/xen/vds/awc".
Started domain awc
arwen:/etc/xen/vds#

either :

arwen:/etc/xen/vds# xm create -c vds/awc
Using config file "/etc/xen/vds/awc".
Started domain awc
Unexpected error: <type 'exceptions.OSError'>

Please report to xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    (p, rv) = os.waitpid(cpid, os.WNOHANG)
OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes



On xend.log I've got :

[2008-12-13 00:25:43 3047] DEBUG (DevController:151) Waiting for devices tap. [2008-12-13 00:25:43 3047] DEBUG (DevController:151) Waiting for devices vtpm. [2008-12-13 00:25:44 3047] WARNING (XendDomainInfo:1258) Domain has crashed: name=awc id=375. [2008-12-13 00:25:44 3047] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1914) XendDomainInfo.destroyDomain(375)


The kernel 2.6.18-XenU works but neither mine (2.6.27.8-em64t-XenU),
neither Ubuntu's kernel.


The same installation with Lenny and Xen 3.2.1 (2.6.26-1) on a Sun Fire
X2100 M2 server works well without any issue. It looks like a low level
hardware issue (CPU, BIOS ? ...).


Regards,

Fred.
