Actual Results: not startable. xen doesn't work either
Hi, I can reproduce the error message and behaviour with regards to yast. It is possible however to use xen domUs on my machine after executing: chkconfig xencommons off and rebooting the machine.

The new processor is a Sandy Bridge (model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz), the MB chip-set is a P67 (stepping B3). I have no problems with XEN (OK, so first boot I forgot to enable the virtualisation options in the BIOS - but let's not talk about that... ) - all my XEN VMs appear to be running happily. This appear to be (from the googling I have done) an issue specific to the processor with xen. -- 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.

I've found that the build works fine in VirtualBox.

My hardware is a Sandy Bridge i5 2500K CPU in a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3R-B3 motherboard with 4 GB RAM.
I can confirm that the same build works fine on a Pentium 4 541 in a Asus P5K SE motherboard, and also works fine with the normal kernel (I installed it using the P4, then booted it with the i5, and it worked fine (used the normal kernel by default)). -- 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.
