[Xen-devel] kernel panic: fatal exception in interrupt

[Diwaker Gupta <diwaker.lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I'm tracking xen-unstable (hg) -- this is using a checkout from 2 days
back. Its a P4, dual processor (but we run nosmp), has a Broadcom 5782
NetXtreme Gigabit ethernet card.

A VM boots up fine, I can ping it, SSH into it. I got this exception
while trying to run some benchmarks using httperf (the VM is running
Apache). I can consistent crash the kernel, but it doesn't always
happen at the same time -- sometimes after 2 seconds, sometimes after
5 seconds. The webserver is not loaded (this particular dump is from a
run where I was sending a measly 50 req/sec).

Has anyone seen something similar recently?
