Hello all,

I used to run xen4.0 kernel 2.6.32.24 over CentOS 5.5, with a relative success, but the bug at mmu.c appeared once at a while. Therefore, I'm looking for a more stable option.
I compiled and ran the newly released xen 4.1, with kernel PVOPS 2.6.32.35 over CentOS 5.5. When trying to start a VM, the following bugs appeared at dmesg. After that, xl and xm commands do not longer respond:

Can you try to recompile your PVOPS kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y?

You can read more about this BUG at
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-03/msg01756.html

I initially hit this BUG sometime Dec 2010... ...
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-12/msg01501.html

Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed answer. The problem I'm facing now is not related to the mmu bug - that one I still am seeing at systems with xen 4.0.2 / kernel 2.6.32.24. Newer kernels have new bugs, much more troublesome, since I can not run a single VM instance.

Adding DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, the main difference is that the system is rebooting shortly after trying to start up a VM:

Ok.  Sorry, didn't see your log message carefully previously.

Looks like it is related to blktap/blktap2 drivers related issue to me... so you are right... ... this is different BUG from what I encountered as the logs are different.  Sorry, didn't read your log carefully before replying previously.  Have you try to use normal LVM for your VM to reproduce the BUG as I guess you are using different storage?

Thanks.
