[Xen-ia64-devel] A strange issue when VTI guest vcpus number is near pcpus

2009-05-05 Thread You, Yongkang
Hi,

When I try recently Xen (Xen 3.4 rc3) on IA64 machine (Tiger4), I found some 
strange issue.

My two systems have 4 and 8 pcpus separately

If VTI guest's vcpus is near pcpus, guest booting will meet some issues:
1. Guest boot might be hang at switch to new root and run init; unmounting old 
/dev ...; unmounting old /sys for a long time.
2. After guest boot up, it might report illegal instructions for command or 
report readonly filesystem. 

I didn't catch it in UP or 2 vcpus conditions. 

Looks a qemu issue? Did you meet it also?

Thanks,
Yongkang

If I double vcpus ( 2*pcups), this issue is more easy to happen. I didn't try 
multi guest yet.
