attached you find the xm dmesg output of my xen-unstable machine,

dom0 and domU were both compiled with smp support (smt enabled) on
a dual xeon 2.8.
did i missed something at kernel configuration?


No. I reported this problem some time back and am still seeing it
daily: http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=267

Sounds like a critical bug. Is anybody taking a look at this?
BTW, is this specific to PAE?
It's on our 'most critical' list, but help is always appreciated. You
need a machine with >= 4GB to repro it. xm-test can throw it up, but
having a simpler repro recipe would be a big help


Does this problem happen when creating multiple domUs _simultaneously_
(using xm-test) or happen even when making domUs sequentially (by
hands)?
I see it daily when running xm-test. Yesterday, however, I saw it for the first time with only one guest domain running. Because there was yet another problem (http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=390), I could not tell whether they were related--I now believe they are not. At any rate, that is probably the only other time I've seen it, and I have not been able to replicate that situation. Xm-test recreates it consistently, though.
