Wow. So that implies the m2p code had some new wonkiness in it. Perhaps this b9e0d95c041ca2d7ad297ee37c2e9cfab67a188f or 0930bba674e248b921ea659b036ff02564e5a5f4 both courtesy of Stefano (who is on vacation this week :-()) are at fault? Would it be possible to revert one of them (or both) and see if the issues disappear? > > > If this also works for you, I can re-submit it with a Signed-off-by > line, if you prefer, Konrad. > > Ben > > > On Tue, Sep 4, 2012 at 1:19 PM, Sander Eikelenboom <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > > Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 6:33:47 PM, you wrote: > > > >> On Tue, Sep 04, 2012 at 06:37:57PM +0200, Sander Eikelenboom wrote: > >>> Hi Konrad, > >>> > >>> This seems to happen only on a intel machine i'm trying to setup as a > >>> development machine (haven't seen it on my amd). > >>> It boots fine, i have dom0_mem=1024M,max:1024M set, the machine has 2G of > >>> mem. > > > >> Is this only with Xen 4.2?
