Thread-topic: Xen 3.1.0 / Centos 5.1 / Kernel Bug 1055 - I can reprod. it any time

Hi!

8 GB RAM, HP DL360G5, 2 Core2Duo, 3,2GHz, CentOS 5.1, latest update, 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5xen, x86_64

-> PV guest (32 PAE) kernel crashes anytime it seems to use a lot of buffers. It crashes always on a large query to a Postres server, remotely connected via SSH tunnel, using Perl DBD::Pg and postgresql-8.1.11-1.el5_1.1.

I found:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-bugs/2007-10/msg00004.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2007-May/msg00078.html

and some others pointing to Xen Bug 1055. It seems no one followed that up yet. Maybe due to not reproducability?

So if anybody could tell me please, what I should do while crashing my domU, I could provide information for that Bug.

Needless to say, that I'd like to stay on some RPM kernel version. I tried Xen 3.1.0 from xensource, which worked perfectly. Drawback is that it is not working in the CentOS environment w/o major adaptations. And the main reason to go to the CentOS kernel was GFS, which we couldn't make it run on the Xen 3.1.0.

I can reproduce the kernel bug in any other DomU on that HP, but not on my 2GB RAM test machine in the office. Someting related to the 8 GB?

Any hint/help much appreciated ;-)

Cheers
Walter
