All,
I've recently started having problems with my Windows Xen guest. Up
until recently, it ran fine but as of the latest update of the Fedora
Core 5 kernel, it now hangs dom0 when I start a guest. This is with
kernel 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5xen0
If I reboot using kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 then I am able to start a
guest. There is no other change beyond this kernel version.
I am still starting the guest as follows:
xm create <guest>
The config file for this guest is at the bottom of the e-mail.
The only relevant messages I can find in /var/log/messages are as
follows:
Sep 20 21:57:13 marvin kernel: device vif1.0 entered promiscuous mode

Sep 20 21:57:18 marvin kernel: loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
After that I see reboot messages.
My guest config is as follows:
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 384
name = "xphell"
vcpus=1
pae=0
acpi=0
apic=0
cpus = ""
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0, ip=192.168.11.3, mac=00:16:3E:1F:
2A:23' ]
# vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3E:1F:2A:23' ]
#vif = [' ']
disk = [ 'file:/vm/WindowsXP/xphell.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom='/vm/XP.iso'
boot='c'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
Any advice on fixing this would be much appreciated!

Some days violence is just a nice quick solution to a problem
that would need thought, planning and actual work to do
