[Xen-users] Xen on x3850 8864 machines

[Andrew McGlashan <andrew.mcglashan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I need to set up Xen on a few x3850 8864 machines, I've had no issues 
with x346 machines, but the x38050 8864 units will never boot the Dom0 
fully -- the server continually reboots.
I've also tried downloading XenServer 6.0 and it has the same issue.

My distro of choice is Debian, but I don't necessarily have to use Debian.

Are there people out there successfully using these now older x3850 8864 
machines with Xen?  If so, what is the trick -- do you have an install 
guide?
The problem may be due to pvops code [in the kernel?], but I'm not so sure.

When, if ever, are the issues with this server going to be fixed so that 
I can use my x3850 boxen?  Each machine comes with 64GB of RAM each and 
4x DC CPUs with hyperthreading and hvm capability ... so, they should 
make a really useful Xen server.
If I can never expect these machines to "play ball", then I understand 
that they would make very good Windows servers -- although I don't want 
to use them that way.
Thanks for any help or advice to the list.
