Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 Version: 2.6.32-27 Severity: important Hi. I have a virtualised server rented at some ISP, which uses Xen for virtualisation. The setup is rather simple: - running sid - using lvm - root-fs is on a LV using ext4 - CPU is 64 bit When ever I booted an -amd64 kernel, the system hanged (see attached screenshort for the place where it hanged), regardless of whether the userspace was i386 or amd64. The 32 bit kernels (e.g. -486) worked however without any problems. After many hours of trying, I (with the help of my ISP) found out that the problem seems to be solved in at least the 2.6.36-amd64 kernels from experimental. The ISP runs the following configuration: -Xen-Kernel: 2.6.27.42-0.1.1.xs5.6.0.44.111158xen -CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5520 The've also confirmed me that they successfully booted a Debian 5.0.6 with 2.6.26-2-amd64. So the problem must have been introduced in the meantime. Given the fact, that 2.6.32 is for squeeze, and that Xen is rather common, this might even qualify for being rc. If you need any further help or so, please ask. My great ISP (Star-Hosting) is very cooperative and they'll probably give me a test system for some time, if we need it. Cheers, Chris. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-heisenberg (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.98.5 tools for generating an initramfs pn linux-base <none> (no description available) ii module-init-tools 3.12-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 recommends: ii firmware-linux-f 2.6.36-1~experimental.1 Binary firmware for various driver Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 suggests: pn grub | lilo <none> (no description available) pn linux-doc-2.6.32 <none> (no description available)
