RE: [Xen-devel] Could not run HVM domain on the latest xen-unstable.hgand Barcelona.

["Huang2, Wei" <Wei.Huang2@xxxxxxx>]

We saw this problem recently. I traced it down to PMM patch submitted by
Kouya and Akio (changeset 19077). 

To fix this problem temporarily, add mode=e1000 to your vif option. 
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0, model=e1000']

Hi all,

Does anybody have tested the latest xen-unstable.hg with an HVM domain
on AMD Barcelona Opteron?
I cloned xen-unstable.hg today (2009-03-10 JST), made config file for
booting an OS image from CD-ROM, and tried to run an HVM domain.
However, it stops running while booting.

According to the vnc, the virtual machine displayed following message:

According to the serial console, I also saw following message:

I came across this problem with AMD Quad-Core Opteron(tm) 2356 on Dell
PowerEdge R805.  However, this kind of problem did not happened on the
another machine I use (Intel Xeon 5130).

Does anybody know how to fix this problem or how to analyze it?

Thank you in advance,
