Ok this is useful. I'd say that message comes from this:
xc.hvm_set_param(self.domid, HVM_PARAM_TIMER_MODE,
long(self.info["platform"].get("timer_mode")))
And that 'self.info["platform"].get("timer_mode")' is returning None,
causing the long() cal to fail.
So either we need to make sure that 'platform' gets a default value
set for 'timer_mode', or make the hvm_set_param() call conditional
like
if self.info["platform"].get("timer_mode") is not None:
xc.hvm_set_param(self.domid, HVM_PARAM_TIMER_MODE,
long(self.info["platform"].get("timer_mode")))
I assume the Hypervisor itself already has a default timemode value,
so making this set_param conditional is probably easiest.
Dan.
