I haven't debugged any further but >I've confirmed that an SMP kernel on the disk.img won't boot. I'm not in the context, but still have some comments here :-). Basically we *can* boot a SMP kernel in a UP VMX domain. To boot up a SMP kernel, we need vcpus > 1, acpi = 1 and apic = 1 in the config file, or you are just running a UP VMX domain. Some old version Linux SMP kernel can *not* boot in a SMP VMX domain, but the root cause is PAE support code, which is mixed with SMP code in Linux kernel :-(, newer version Linux, like 2.6.12+, should work. Actually we have a fix to this PAE issue, but more tests needed. -Xin > >Thanks, > >Dan > > >_______________________________________________ >Xen-devel mailing list >Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel > _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
