Re: [Fedora-xen] 2.6.37 dom0 kernel

2011-01-12 Thread Marko Ristola

I tested kernel-2.6.37-2.xendom0.fc15 with Fedora 14.

I figured out that i can create a crash with following grub.conf line:
kernel /xen-4.0.1.gz dom0_mem=1024M
With the following line a crash won't occur:
kernel /xen-4.0.1.gz

Without crash, most fonts are unreadable, cursor is just a box with random 
content.
Some fonts, åäöag worked allright, some fonts were unreadable. Some drop down 
menu thumbnails were ok,
others were garbage.

Both kernels appear equal with this grub.conf modification:
kernel-2.6.37-1.xendom0.fc15 and kernel-2.6.37-2.xendom0.fc15

Maybe Radeon won't get enough memory: allowing Dom0 kernel to use all almost 
2GB memory works better.
Low memory causes the Radeon's generated page fault and the hang.

Try kernel-2.6.37-2.xendom0.fc15 available at 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=271 which has some 
extra DRM patches from Konrad's git repository.

Hello,

Are you aware that upstream Linux 2.6.37 doesn't have the 
xen (dom0) drm/ttm/kms fixes yet? They were just posted
to dri-devel and to lkml just a couples of days ago for review..

Konrad has a git tree with the patches applied, iirc ..
Also Jeremy's xen/stable-2.6.32.x git tree has (most) of the patches applied.

Also you might want to discuss these issues on xen-devel..
and report success/failures :)

Thanks!

Yes, it works for me. Gnome login prompt comes up and Login provides
graphical environment for Xen Host with 2.6.37.1

Hi

I tried M A Young's precompiled 2.6.37 XEN kernel (under 
xen-4.0.1-6.fc14.x86_64, grub.conf modified.

I have a Radeon card.
I booted with and without modesetting, without success.
I booted successfully with Radeon driver without acceleration.
I'm sending this email from Dom0 :) Speed is as expected.


Here is the bug report:

Plain Radeon without any xorg.conf modifications on Fedora 14:
Initially there was a graphical modesetting based startup.
I switched from graphical startup progress graphics into text mode during boot: 
I could see textual progress messages during bootup.
When X tried to start, Radeon kernel driver caused a page fault, that it 
couldn't handle.
Full kernel stack trace was visible on the screen, and it could be looked up 
with Shift + page up / page down.
Unfortunately I don't have time to take a log via serial port this weekend.

With nomodeset, booting up progressed (disk IO heard), but the screen was blank 
all the time. I initiated a reboot from the keyboard.
With modesetting with the bug, keyboard didn't work. I initiated a reboot via 
reset button.

Here is the xorg.conf's part as a workaround for Radeon driver problem, 
/etc/xorg.conf.d/00-radeon.conf for Fedora 14:

Section "Device"

   Identifier "UseRadeon"

   Driver "radeon"
   Option "NoAccel" "true"
   Option "DRI" "false"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"

   Identifier "MyMonitor"

   Option "DPMS" "true"

EndSection

Section "Screen"

   Identifier "MyScreen"

   Device "UseRadeon"
   Monitor "MyMonitor"

EndSection

Forget that, it seems even kms modesetting works with dom0_mem=1024M!

2.6.37-1.xendom0.fc15 x86_64 boots as dom0 for me!
I'm using the F14 xen-4.0.1-6 as the hypervisor.

The "only" problem is the display goes all blank
when dom0 kernel is booted - I need to check what's going on.

(yeah, I have "nomodeset" specified).

[Fedora-xen] 2.6.37 dom0 kernel

2011-01-05 Thread M A Young
There is a 2.6.37 kernel to test (2.6.37-1.xendom0.fc15) at 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2703408
I have had mixed success with this as the kernel package doesn't boot, but 
the kernel-debug package does boot to runlevel 3 (albeit with the couple 
of minutes delay which I have been seeing in the 2.6.37-rc kernels).
