Re: [Xen-users] domU shell prompt freezes after live migration
 
  
  
    The suse 2.6.34-xen and 2.6.37-xen works fine in my tests too. 
     
    3.1 seems be fine too but have some issues with ballooning (fixes
    was commited after 3.1 release) and with time (in xen 3).

    Your welcome. Looks like you fixed the problem by
      regressing, i tried to fix it by upgrading. I was able to fix my
      issue of the console freezing after the save and restore but now i
      am unable to get the networking to work in squeeze domu's after
      restore. 
       
      I was told in the #xen channel to use centos5 as my failsafe test
      and so far it has earned that title. Throughout all my tests the
      centos5 domU ALWAYS works with everything. Debian seems to be more
      finicky unfortunately.  
       
      Perhaps i will regress as you have and see if that fixes my
      networking problem. 
       
      Glad to help,

           David, 
            
            We arrived at what may be a related solution. Instead of
            lucid Ubuntu for the domUs, we dropped back to lenny
            (2.6.26-2-xen-amd64). The lenny domUs xm store, xm save, and
            migrate correctly.
             
            None of this explains why on previous installations of our
            cluster (ocfs2 on SAN + 2 Debian Squeeze dom0s), we did not
            have problems with lucid vms. But now the lenny s work.
             
            You put us onto the right track with this kernel version
            problem, and we may well soon be upgrading our dom0s as you
            suggested.
             
            Thanks very much for your help.

                 Yep, 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 is the

                  I run xen4.1.1 in debian wheezy and the 2.6.39.4

                        This could be very useful. We are running Debian
                        Squeeze for the dom0 (kernel:
                        2.6.32-5-xen-amd64), but Ubuntu (lucid) for the
                        domUs.

                              to do with the kernel you are using for

                              Here is the bug report describing it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=644604 
                               
                              I've had this occur with other kernel's
                              i've built, not just debian provided ones.
                              I was able to build a 2.6.39.4 and a 3.0.1
                              kernel last night that restored my ability
                              to do xm save and restore without the
                              console lock up. 
                               
                              Hope this helps.

                                  2. opened permissions on .img files

                                  to no avail,
