Do you perhaps have more than one xenstored / xenconsoled running?

The processes listed by 'ps -aux | grep xen' immediately after dom0 boots are oxenstored, xenconsoled and xenwatchdogd.

I did start 'xencommons ' from my install folder due to xl showing the name of Dom0 as '(null)' and also because of a difference in output error from xl when creating a HVM DomU with passthrough (the output is captured in files xl_output_clean[0] and xl_output_xencommons[1]).

You can work around this with:

Thank you, after applying this patch dom0 no longer freezes or reboots, therefore I was able to capture all the error messages from the 'xl create' command [0] [1].

Another problem that I discovered while investigating pci passthrough is that Dom0 randomly freezes. I encountered this problem multiple times, but on two occasions I was able to capture the output form the serial console: the problem will reset dom0 after 5 seconds [2] or will cause the system to never reset [3].

I later applied the patch from [4] as seeing this is a recurrent problem, but I could not reproduce the bug even when stressing the system.


Thanks, Alex.
