[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-users] Xen 3.1 (pae-mode) causing domU's to crash if RAM above about 500-800MB is used
Hello,
after setting up quite a lot of xen server without any issue in the past few
month, now I've got serious trouble getting xen 3.1 running stable on new
server hardware. In my humble opinion it's related to PAE (once again).
The problem is, that starting domains is working in general, but only if RAM
below about 500-800MB is used. Each domain that gets started after already
this amount of RAM is in use will crash (see kernel message below).
Surprisingly live-migrating domains from other system to this one, even if
the migrated domain consums memory above the critical point, seems to work
without any trouble.
I am already starting the hypervisor with the option :"dom0_mem=256M", so this
doesn't help already.
But first of all the technical specs of the system:
- Dual Dualcore-Xeon 5130 (2Ghz)
- 8 GB RAM
- Intel chipset (5000 or 5000p)
- Intel Network, USB, PCI Express Controller
- ATI ES1000 graphiccard
- 3Ware SATA Raid Controller (9xxx?)
- IPMI Remote Management Card (not visible with lspci)
Software:
Debian Etch with 2.6.18-4-xen-686 kernel (pae) and backported Xen 3.1 Debian
Packages. Besides the backported xen 3.1 packages nothing really special.
DRBD and LVM is used to handle the block devices.
In the past, the 3Ware SATA Controller was causing trouble with Xen in PAE
mode, but with Ian Pratt's help this could be solved. After that a patch has
been included in xen 3.0.x. (3.0.2 if I remember it correctly). Just an idea,
but maybe this patch is not included in 3.1 anymore? It really could be a
Xen/PAE/3Ware Problem again.
Help is very much appreciated.
regards,
Ralph
P.s.:
Here are some more technical facts. If even more is needed for debugging this
problem, please let me know. For some days even SSH access would be possible,
if needed.
