Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 Severity: important
When using XEN in Debian I get repeatably lots of pages containing "4gb seg fixup"-errors (details below) although i'm using libc6-xen and retried with /lib/tls removed as well. I was able to reproduce it every time and on different machines. Without starting any DomU enter the following command in Dom0 to create a new DomU with bootstraping (package xen-tools): xen-create-image --hostname testetch2 --debootstrap --dist etch I already assigned this bug report to "xen-utils" where I was hinted that this is not an issue with xen-tools (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431041). ERROR-DESCRIPTION: The errors apear shortly after this line appears... Installing your system with debootstrap mirror http://debian.inode.at/debian/ ... and won't stop until the next line ("Done") from xen-tools appears.Errors (400+ lines) like this clutter up the the console: printk: 148430 messages suppressed. 4gb seg fixup, process apt-get (pid 12238), cs:ip 73:b7d09ccc And can be found in the syslog too: Jun 28 17:33:32 debian kernel: printk: 148430 messages suppressed. Jun 28 17:33:32 debian kernel: 4gb seg fixup, process apt-get (pid 12238), cs:ip 73:b7d09ccc They vary in the numbers and the process; other processes besides apt-get are e.g.: mount, base-files.post, dpkg, tar, update-alternat, tar, frontend, locale, dpkg-deb, dpkg-divert, preinst, ls ... and much more. USED CONFIGURATION: I am using Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 "etch" with the following components (from dpkg -l, value in brackets is column "version"): linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2) libc6-xen (2.3.6.ds1-13) linux-modules-2.6.18-4-xen-686 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2) xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae (3.0.3-0-2) xen-linux-system-2.6.18-4-xen-686 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2) xen-utils-3.0.3-1 (3.0.3-0-2) xen-tools (2.8-2) xen-utils-common (3.0.3-0-2) Both machines have "pae" in their /proc/cpuinfo. FURTHER INFOS: Another interesting fact is that the same approach in "Ubuntu 7.04 Server" (which is a Debian-derivate after all) works fine. Maybe it's possible to narrow the bug hunt by looking what's different there? I give the information about the Ubuntu packages as well, probably they will be useful. If not feel free to ignore the information: The xen-tools version in Ubuntu is 3.0.3-0ubuntu1 and libc6-xen is 2.5-0ubuntu14.
