Re: [Fedora-xen] 2.6.32.x dom0 kernel
Feb 23rd here in Australia. The system is still running flawlessly since turning off all power saving in the BIOS. Looks like the power saving stuff in the BIOS for AMD processors could be the issue with the clocksource.

Re: [Fedora-xen] 2.6.32.x dom0 kernel
Just a quick pre-xmas report: Since turning off all power saving in the BIOS, everything has worked flawlessly (now that I've emailed this I'm sure the entire system will blow up). So far so good.

Re: [Fedora-xen] 2.6.32.x dom0 kernel
Hi Pasi, I gave up on the idea of using jiffies as the clocksource. I was unable to get ntpd to lock onto any time sources with clocksource set to jiffies. The jitter and offsets just went crazy. I'm now turning off all power saving in the bios and reverting to the default clocksource. I read that the xen time source attempts to do "stuff" if it reckons some ticks went missing. Apparently a cause of missing TSC ticks can be going to sleep on some CPUs who knows. Something to do with the max_cstate.

Re: [Fedora-xen] 2.6.32.x dom0 kernel
Found this in /var/log/messages as the last thing prior to death. Clocksource tsc unstable Did some Googling and found some people changed the dom0 clocksource. Added clocksource=jiffies to the kernel commandline. Will see if it does anything. V On Wed, 17 Nov 2010 12:00:01 pm Virgil wrote: > Host crashed.
