Re: [Xen-devel] DomU: kernel BUG at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:425

[Thomas DEBESSE <thomas.debesse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I'm replying to this thread from 2013: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-03/threads.html#00649

Like James Sinclair, all I could find is a closed Debian bug from Dec 2010 with no resolution:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=60770

Do you have some news about this bug?

I got it too with a 3.16 kernel on Debian:

The message above is from DomU kernel. In fact, when I get this message, I'm lucky: it means the error was handled without crashing. Most of the case the vm just reboot itself before logging or printing any message at all.
On Dom0 side, `xl dmesg` shows nothing.

I downgraded my DomU kernel to 3.2 and it seems to work for now but it's not a fix.

I was running xen 4.4.1-9 and linux 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (686-pae) from Debian.

I don't have more information, at all.
