[Xen-devel] Xen 3.1 - Can't run Fedora Core 1 PV

[Nick Craig-Wood <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't run a Fedora Core 1 image PV - it SEGVs on start.  This is a
show stopper for me upgrading to xen 3.1 as we have quite a few FC1
images.

I've written a bug report here, but I'm not sure anyone ever looks at
bugzilla!

Here are the details...

Xen 3.1 runs most of my domUs just fine, windows etc, but it doesn't
run a Fedora Core 1 image.  It hangs at 100% cpu usage just after
"Freeing kernel memory".

If I mount the FC1 image on dom0 and chroot into it I get

  # chroot . /bin/bash
  Segmentation fault

I've put a small ext2 filing system here (built from a virgin FC1
image) which demonstrates the problem

Mounting it and chrooting from dom0 under Xen 3.1 gives the SEGV.
Doing the same from Xen 3.0.3 , Xen 3.0.4 and Debian testing works
fine.

I've verified that the same thing happens on the binary download from
the xen web site (xen-3.1.0-install-x86_32p.tgz) dated June 1st so it
isn't just my dodgy compiling skills!
