Re: [Xen-devel] [BUG] (hvm)-virtualization doesn't work with xen 4.4

[Michael Mair-Keimberger <m.mairkeimberger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,
Hi List,

Sorry, for this late reply!
I didn't subscribe to the xen-devel mailing list and because of that i
didn't got any reply. On [1] it's written the lists policy is to CC
people so i though it's ok not to subscribe. It would be great if you
could CC me next time.

[1] http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs_against_Xen

Because of that i've just copied your answer into a new mail and send it
directly to you + CC the list. Don't know if that is a proper way and i
hope i don't mess up to much...

About my bug:

Hmm, i though i did include a complete xl dmesg in my last mail (though it
was a bit far back at mail), however, below is another xl dmesg. I've
also included my complete dmesg in case you need that too.
xl dmesg was done after i tried to start the vm via "xl create
/path/to/config"

This is quite strange.  That is a malformed 64bit instruction, and 32 or
16bit would be dec %[e]dx, which should not be hitting the emulator
under any circumstance I am aware of.
