Re: [Xen-devel] Re: Problem with Xen 4.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 ( Oneiric Ocelot) (HVM DomUs crash)



Might be. Packaging has been done by Ubuntu. Packages uploaded to Repos
I just installed  *.deb packages been already patched and compiled , but can get
source  before  patching as well.
I've zipped hvmloader installed via system setup of xen tools, e.g. after patching

I managed to repro the issue on alpha 2.
These are the error logs that I get on the xen serial when starting an
HVM guest:

(XEN) HVM1: HVM Loader
(XEN) io.c:194:d1 MMIO emulation failed @ 0018:9ffff: 00 e0 de be 00 83
(XEN) hvm.c:1099:d1 Triple fault on VCPU0 - invoking HVM system reset.

The problem appears to be hvmloader, in fact I replaced the hvmloader
that comes with ubuntu alpha 2 with the one I compiled myself out of xen
4.1.1 and everything worked as expected.
Do you have any patches to xen that might have broken hvmloader?
