Bug#903767: Bug#903800: 4.9.110-1 Xen PV boot workaround



The package is available via stretch-proposed-updates. Just add that one to your sources.list until the next point release or linux security update.

HTH,
Sven

It appears that this ticket has been closed, noting a fix in linux-4.9.110-2 (source pkg). Will this replace the current linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64 in stretch soon? It's currently making stretch unusable with Xen.

Hi,

I tested this workaround : I confirm that it works on Xen host, but not
on Xen guest.
If you try to start a vm with latest kernel i.e. theses parameters in
cfg file :

#
#  Kernel + memory size
#
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-7-amd64'
extra       = 'elevator=noop'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-7-amd64'

The VM crash in loop with kernel error :

[...]

Did I miss something ?

Yes, the pti=off needs to go in your extra line:

extra = 'elevator=noop pti=off'
