After pounding on that box pretty much all evening with "nosmp", I wasn't able to make it crash, either in dom0 or a VM, like I had been able to do in SMP mode.

Which revision of the code were you running there? I'd like to give it a go...

I had some weirdness in dom0 when I woke up and checked on it this morning - a compile had failed that shouldn't have, but there were no log messages either from Xen or dom0, so I'm not really sure what that was.

Tonight I'll pull the latest changes and rebuild everything, reboot it without "nosmp" (make it SMP again) and see what happens.

I've been trying various old revisions as far back as 1.1068[*] (so far), and I can't find one that doesn't blow up.

My test is to run James' 'compare' script in domain0 on two large identical files of randomness, and compile various things continuously in a 2.4.26 domain1. It usually takes only a few minutes to start showing differences, and if I leave it I'll get segfaults in domain0, then (with at least one revision) a panic in domain0 and reboot.

Just now I tried the latest code (post Keir's 1.1116/1.1117 csets) and I'm seeing much the same results.

Hardware is a Dell 1650, single CPU, 1G RAM, aacraid controller. I've got rid of the devicemapper stuff I was running before, and domain1's root is on an ordinary disk partition.

[*] is this a suitably precise way of specifying revision? 1.1068 is based on the list from:
