RE: [Xen-devel] Dom0 Hang for large VCPU counts > PCPU
Thanks. I don't believe we're even getting through to the boot loader,
let alone to the kernel.

With FC6 (or any 2.6.18 kernel) there's an issue using the tsc
clocksource
(we're working
on a fix); may not be related but could be worth booting with
"clocksource=acpi_pm".
cheers,
S.

It IS dying for a domU guests. Do you perhaps mean PV guests? No we
haven't tried them. I don't have any at the moment to test.
Clarifying the initial report:
Host is 2 core (Core 2 Duo/965 chipset) box with VPCU=PCPU for Dom0.
Issue occurs when attempting to start an HVM DomU with VCPU >= 24
(though we
haven't checked 21-23 yet).
The DomU never(apparently) starts, and Dom0 hard hangs. (i.e. not even
the
numlock key works)
Given that Dom0 hangs hard when this occurs, we don't have any ideas as
to
the exact cause of death.
