Hi,

after upgrading from 10.3 to 11 booting with xen does not work any more on my
DELL 1950-III x86_64 server.

I found these two bugs to be related anyhow, but they seem not to fit at 100%
as they reference problems with network-card or driver - and i'm not sure if
that fits into my error-profile: #389944 and #396236  There also exists a
forum-post describing my problem:
http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/390004-opensuse-11-x86_64-xen-dell-2950-a.html

The hardware is a dell 1950-III with 16GB Ram and 2 quad-core Xeon-CPUs.
As stated before, xen worked fine on the same hardware using 10.3 in dom0, and
using 10.3 and windows-xp in dom-Us. After upgrading the dom0 to 11.0, booting
to normal kernel is fine, but system hangs while booting to xen. The
front-panel-lcd of this dell is starting to flash orange, and stating that
CPU-2 crashed unrecoverable with IERR code E1420 and/or E1422. Only a cold
reboot (unplug all power-cables) recovers from this error-state.
I tried several boot-params for xen resulting in different crash-flavours:
mem=1G (seems not to change anything)
runlevel 1 or 3 or 5 (seems not to change anything)
noirqbalance (crash is some lines of output later than without this param)

I do have a serial cable and a second pc, but i do not know exaclty which info
is related, and how to obtain these infos. So any guidance in this matter will
be very helpful (in special: which program should i use on my second pc to
gather and save the infos? the os is opensuse. which infos are of interest for
you?).

regards, and thank you for your help

Stefan Schueffler
