Hi,

For various bad reasons I must run a kernel 2.2.X and I tried to get it running on Xen 3.0.3. The virtual machine freeze every 28s (or less) for 1-3 secs which makes it unusable as demonstrated by:
# while true; do date; sleep 1; done

<missing>
Thu Oct 26 18:03:38 PDT 2006

or
# ping my-xen

Any idea what could be wrong ?

I tried default or bvt schedulers (some people reported better overhaul behavior for hvm with bvt), I tried with or without any graphical interface (sdl). It does not boot at all with 2 vcpus so could not try that.

Any idea ?

Patrice
