RE: [Fedora-xen] Can not boot vm guest rhel4 with smp kernel on FC5with vt enabled hardware (Intel)

[You, Yongkang]

Hi Thomas,

 

Did your Xen0 is EM64T (IA32E)?

Could you try with opening acpi=1 and apic=1 in the HVM config file.

 

Best Regards,

Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康

Hi,

 

I have running rhel4 vm guest on fc5 on VT hardware.

Becose i can boot only with single core kernel 2.6.9-34.EL

If I try to boot kernel-smp 2.6.9-34.EL  with vcpus 2, boot is hanging by..

 

“Uncompressing Linux … Ok, booting the kernel.”

 

There is no errors, no output on serial console.

 

Anyone see the same effect ?

 

I using this config:

 

# Automatically generated xen config file

name = "rhel4_2"

builder = "hvm"

memory = "256"

acpi = 0

apic = 0

pea = 0

vcpus = 2

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/datavg/xenRHEL4_2,ioemu:hda,w' ]

vif = [ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0,mac=00:16:3e:09:e8:e0' ]

on_reboot   = 'restart'

on_crash    = 'restart'

kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'

device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

#cdrom = '/archiv/iso/RHEL4-U3-i386-AS-disc1.iso'

boot = 'c'

sdl = 0 # use SDL for graphics

vnc = 1 # use VNC for graphics

vncviewer = 0 # spawn vncviewer by default

nographic = 0 # don't use graphics

serial='pty' # enable serial console

 

regards,

thomas

AW: Can not boot vm guest rhel4 with smp kernel on FC5with vt enabled hardware (Intel)

Hi Yongkang,

 

acpi=1 and apic=1 is not working, it’s the same problem.

My Xen0 is IA32 FC5.

Hardware is Pentium D 930 with motherboard D955XBK with EM64T.

Is this a problem if i run i386 and not x86_64 ?

 

I get the same problem if I try to start Redhat 7.2, single core is running, smp core is
not running.

 

regards,

Thomas
