Re: [Xen-users] Xen 4.0.3 on Linux 2.6.32 failed to shutdown gracefully, but reboot instead



Hi,

What I tried to do was to power down dom0 gracefully. The server rebooted instead of powered down and stayed off. When the server booted to the same kernel without multi-boot, the dom0 could be power down gracefully either with "shutdown now" or "poweroff" commands.

I used the lastest XenWindowsGplPV drivers 11.0.357 on Windows 2003/2008 x64 and found no problem. The domU(s) responded to "xm shutdown" command and shutdown gracefully.

Hi,

I have successfully setup and are running Xen 4.0.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 (Kernel
2.6.32 from Jeremy's branch). However, the server failed to power down
gracefully with Xen multi-boot (e.g. using shutdown or poweroff commands),
it turned out to reboot instead. When  booting to the kernel alone without
multi-boot, the server could power down gracefully.
Hi!

I have this problem too, but only with hvm guests (i.e. windows domU).
I've read about something about this problem and I've found out that
XenWindowsGplPv drivers have to be installed. The problem is that installing
such drivers, make my domUs unstable and unusable.
Do you have this problem even on PV guests?
