hi, in the last few days i had lots of problems with endian running as DomU on xen 3.1 Dom0 (Debian Etch 4.0r1). All my DomU systems are running very stable (no crashes at all) anly endian 2.1.2 crashes often. I tried to run it in PV mode and in HVM mode. Both worked but with errors. In PV mode endian stops at boot time if I add more than 3 bridges the kernel stops booting here:

Switching to new root INIT: version 2.85 booting Mounting /proc filesystem Sometimes the kernel also crashes earlier at boottime (no screen capture avaible at the moment). In HVM mode the DomU also crashes sometimes. "xm list" shows no status for the DomU and I am no more able to connect to the console. I think the Xen patches do not fit that good with kernel 2.6.9. Do you think it is possible to patch kernel 2.6.18 with the endian patches and after this step use it for compiling a Xen DomU kernel? greetings flo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
