Subject: Has anyone seen this before? vcpus > 1 panics DomU kernel
I installed Fedora-8 for IA64 as a guest HVM in order to
continue with some more benchmarking.
Everything was fine.
However, if I set the vcpus > 1, then I get the following
when the machine is booting:
PCI: PIIX3: Enabling Passive Release on 0000:00:01.0
Red Hat nash version 6.0.19 starting
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
The config file is as follows:
import os, re
arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel =
"/root/efi-vfirmware.hg/binaries/xenia64-gfw.bin"
builder='hvm'
memory = 2048
shadow_memory = 32
name = "F8"
vcpus=2
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:76:2e:30:0d:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/F8,hda,w',
'file:/root/Xen/isos/Fedora-8-ia64-DVD.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir +
'/xen/bin/qemu-dm.debug'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncdisplay=89
vncpasswd='xxxxxx'
nographic=0
serial='pty'
monitor=1
Thanks for any clues you can give me.
