Hi,

I have to wait for that to occur again. There were no error messages, suddenly domU's with emulated TSC started to use a lot of CPU until they were so slow that they had to be destroyed. domU's with native tsc are working fine.

Is there any way to track down the problem?

Haven't heard any other reports of that. Can you provide more details?

Hi,

Seems like that emulation is not quite working as it should be. domU's
are using all the available cpu and then they crash. I did a fallback
back to the old behaviour and the virtuals running with tsc_native=1 are
working fine.

Hi,

Ok, good to know. Is it always at 1GHz or can it be adjusted? Is there
some other new features different from 3.4.1 that I should know?

We are testing the latest xen-unstable and found an interesting bug.
dom0 detects cpu speed correctly but when booting domU it detects it
incorrectly:

"Detected 1000.000 MHz processor."
TSC is emulated at that speed. If you want old behaviour then add
tsc_native=1
to your domain config file.
