[Xen-users] Re: Xen-users Digest, Vol 64, Issue 52

[Daniel <dandadude@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear James and Andrew!

Thanks much for the help, it seems that viridian=1 solved my problem!
I forced a heavy load last night and no reboots were issued!

I confirm that I had multiple cpus assigned and dom0 heavy load started the reboot problema, but with viridian=1, everything is OK!

Thanks again for everything!

Regards,
Daniel

If you have multiple cpus assigned and the crash only happened when
dom0 is under load then you probably need viridian=1 in the domU
config, otherwise it will bugcheck if timer interrupts are delayed for
too long.
