I was unable to find issues in the mailing list archive
pertaining to Linux hanging during the reboot of the dom0 on Jeremy's PV git
kernel.
I setup a fresh x86_64 Debian Lenny system using the 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel
which can reboot my system by ctrl+alt+del or by simply using the reboot
command.
Then I lost the ability to reboot after using my compiled PVOPS kernel.
STEPS TAKEN TO BUILD PV DOM0:
sudo apt-get install git-core kernel-package fakeroot build-essential
ncurses-dev
Then I checked out linux-2.6-xen to my source/building directory with:
1) git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git
linux-2.6-xen
2) and then used the .config (renamed accordingly)
@ http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/config-2.6.31.4-pvops_dom0-x86_64
3) in the kernel source directory make-kpkg clean
4) CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`grep -c '^processor' /proc/cpuinfo` fakeroot make-kpkg
--initrd --append-to-version=-xen kernel_image kernel_headers
5) everything compiled fine so I installed the outputted debs (dpkg -i *.deb) successfully
6) updated my grub configuration (menu.lst)
The system boots fine, but then I just cannot restart the dom0. I tried the suggestions
at: http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/08/04/howto-fix-linux-hangfreeze-during-reboots-and-restarts/
Using the reboot= kernel options did not fix the rebooting issue.
QUESTIONS:
Firstly does anyone have a fix or patch for an issue like this?
Secondly is there a more suitable or updated .config to use rather than the one
I used for step #2
Thirdly I am using make-kpkg because I believe it to be the correct debian way. I looked for a way to build both a
linux-image and linux-headers deb package for installation. I am aware that the linux-2.6-xen Makefile
offers a "make deb-pkg" phony, but this only builds the linux-image part into a deb. How might one
use the Makefile options to include headers in the appropriate kernel and appropriate
file system location?
Thanks for looking :)
