Ubuntu 12.04 VM gives error: ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION running as
a host in Xen XCP 1.5.
Seems the issue is with the newer AMD 6200 series processors
(CPU's).
We are running AMD 6274 chips, and had to append this "cpuid_mask_cpu=fam_10_rev_c"
to the extlinux.conf file:
label xe
# XCP
kernel mboot.c32
append /boot/xen.gz cpuid_mask_cpu=fam_10_rev_c
dom0_mem=752M lowmem_emergency
_pool=1M crashkernel=64M@32M console= vga=mode-0x0311 ---
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen
root=LABEL=root-bptvgzah ro xencons=hvc console=hvc0 console=tty0
quiet vga=785
splash --- /boot/initrd-2.6-xen.img
Reducing the instruction set to an older K10 operation architecture
fixed the issue.
This now allows Ubuntu 12.04 to function correctly as a VM in Xen
XCP 1.5.
So... my question is this... seems Citrix has fixed this issue with
the newest release of Xen Server 6.0.2, when will this be included
in Xen XCP? We do NOT use Citrix Xen Server at all, instead, we use
Xen XCP 1.5.
