Re: [Xen-devel] [BUG] Only 1 VCPU is detected in Xen 4.1 - "A valid RSDP was not found"

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The full xm dmesg and dmesg logs are enclosed in this message.

It is an EFI boot, because EFI + GPT is needed to manage the disk storage > 2TB.

I tried Xen 4.4 with kernel 3.13 in Ubuntu 14.04 (and Xen 4.1 with
kernel 3.11 in Ubuntu 12.04), but the USB keyboard / mouse failed to
work in both cases. Thus, I fall back to Debian Wheezy Xen 4.1.


Thanks a lot.

John Mok
