Hi, i'm running Debian etch on a HP Proliant DL580 and i need to get the system productiv. If i run a "xm create" sometimes i get the kernel messages:
kernel: kernel BUG at drivers/xen/core/evtchn.c:481! kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] kernel: SMP kernel: CPU: 4 kernel: EIP is at retrigger+0x1f/0x35 kernel: eax: 00000000 ebx: 02080000 ecx: 0000002e edx: f55f6000 kernel: esi: c03188e0 edi: 0000011c ebp: 00000000 esp: c039feb0 kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0069 kernel: Process xenwatch (pid: 29, ti=c039e000 task=c0eaf000 task.ti=c039e000) kernel: Stack: c013b259 c03188e0 0000011c c0318908 c013afaf eb644ec0 00000000 00000000 kernel: eb644ec0 c02170f0 00000000 c02174d0 c021065f 00000010 00000000 0000020b kernel: 0000020a 00000000 00000000 eb10b4f5 c02e67a4 ee664000 00000000 00000002 kernel: Call Trace: kernel: Code: ee 85 f6 75 96 58 5a 5b 5e 5f 5d c3 0f b7 0c 85 40 b8 37 c0 8b 15 84 19 2d c0 85 c9 74 1d 0f a3 8a 80 08 00 00 19 c0 85 c0 75 08 <0f> 0b e1 01 b2 1a 2b c0 f0 0f ab 8a 00 08 00 00 b8 01 00 00 00 kernel: EIP: [<c020c14a>] retrigger+0x1f/0x35 SS:ESP 0069:c039feb0 The problem is critical to me, because i could not start production on this system. Xen is needed because the should run a dynamic count of systems.
