  • Thread-topic: Status on booting multiple domains on RHEL4

With tip, I am able to build and boot dom0 and domU on RHEL3
with no changes.  When I build for RHEL4 (using Akio's recipe)
and build dom0 using the generic config file, it boots dom0
fine but when I try to boot domU, I have lots of problems.
Has anyone else booted a domU on RHEL4?  

If we can get these resolved so it is possible to boot domU
cleanly on RHEL4, perhaps we can finally move the development/test
environment to RHEL4.

I would appreciate it if others would see if they can duplicate
the problem and perhaps try to track it down further.

P.S. Just in case, I tried moving /lib/tls to /lib/tls.bak
but saw no difference.

======

First, the call to ia64_pal_cache_flush in arch_set_info_guest
crashes dom0.  By commenting this out, I get further, to

        Running on Xen! start_info_pfn=0x3ffd lags=0x0
        xen-event-channel using ir1 233
        vcpu_get_lid: ...

then a sequence of many many reports of bad mpa from
translate_domain_pte and lookup_domain_mpa (harmless?).
The mpa's seem to be increasing by 16K for each one.

Then I get:

        Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
a0007fffffddb018
        loop0[3831]: Oops 8813272891392 [1]
        Modules linked in:

Then a register dump of comm=loop0 with ip at lo_read_actor.

The console has just printed:

        RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
