Hi,

I have a Intel Xeon 5130 CPU on an Intel Server Board. This CPU does support the Intel Vanderpool technology. The purpose is providing several Linux servers. I want to run Debian Linux Etch (currently Testing but soon Stable) in the 64bit mode (the Debian architecture name is "amd64" for that). Xen has the version 3.0.3.

I installed the Xen packages and can run other Etch versions as Xen guests using the normal paravirtualization. There is no problem with that and it does work:) The xen-tools are very helpful and used seamless the LVM2 stuff (see attached xen-test11.cfg).

But I do want the hardware assisted virtualisation using Vanderpool. I took xmexample.hvm and put the lvm stuff there (see attached xen-test12-hvm-mod2.cfg) and tried to boot but I doesn't work:

# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0     1347     2 r-----    79.6
ExampleHVMDomain                   8      128     1 ------     0.0

The output of the logfiles in /var/log/xen is also attached (xend.log.txt and qemu-dm.log.txt). qemu-dm.log.txt says "domctl operation failed -- need to rebuild the user-space tool set?
xc_get_pfn_list returned error 13".

What does that mean? Can you please help me?

TIA and kind regards from Martin
