[Bug 156600] Re: Crash at kernel initialization when booting Xen on AMD Athlon X2

[Rich Wales]

I'm seeing this same bug on my Xen system (same versions of xen-
hypervisor-3.1 and linux-image-2.6.22-14-xen).  In my case, the system
generally comes up, but domU's and/or the dom0 will crash sporadically
with a kernel bug at the location described in the original report.

I'm seeing two other problems (possibly related).

If I try to copy (scp) a large file onto my dom0, or any of the domU's,
the resulting copy of the file is corrupt.

And I'm getting ext3fs problems -- sometimes errors causing a filesystem
to remount as read-only, and sometimes crashes during fsck while
rebooting.

This has become serious enough that I'm going to have to abandon my
plans to bring up a production Xen cluster on this box until / unless
the problem can be fixed.

I reported this problem on the xen-users list, but no one there had any
ideas.  I found an earlier posting to xen-users (from November 2007),
describing this same problem, with the subject "Crashing PV DomU, Can't
find the reason".
