Of course, the machine won't reboot, because the kernel on my original 10.3 media getting loaded into domU appears to be incompatible with the dom0 kernel...
ERROR (2,'Invalid kernel','xc_dom_compat_check: guest type xen-3.0-x86_32 not supported by Xen kernel, sorry\n')
I assume this was after you changed from PAE to non-PAE (or the other way around) without re-creating the guest... But - if I get you right, you succeeded to install a new VM from CD, while in the same system configuration the network install failed. If that's correct, then I agree to
I wonder if my virtual machines, when under high network load during operation, might cause a server halt, thus halting ALL the virtual machines on the server plus the server itself plus my ability to remote restart them. In other words, I wonder if this bug is related to the network, and NOT to just the installation per se.
Rather than continuing the route you outlined, it may thus be much more interesting to see whether you'd get the box to die with (high) network traffic unrelated to VM installation/operation, and whether using a completely different NIC model (specifically driven by another driver) would avoid the problem (in fact I cannot even assure you anyone internally ever tested on a machine using the bnx2 driver - we just have to assume that the hardware drivers work well in Xen if they do so in native, which generally is a valid assumption). Btw., in light of another bug recently fixed upstream: The VM(s) you install don't take an unusually large (i.e. anything >1 ;-)) number of virtual disks or NICs? (But even if so, this could crash dom0, but shouldn't hang the hypervisor.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
