I don't have any suggestions as to the cause of the problem, but a

The vmcore and sosreport have been sent to RH support. The panic screen shows the functions related to the (kvm)bridge and bnx2 so we tested installing a guest without using the bridge. It works !!! So the culprit is either the br driver or the bnx2 driver. I am waiting for RH Support to look at the vmcore. Also checked with Dell for the latest bnx2 driver, and Dell said RH has the latest one.

Anyone experiences this problem with the driver bnx2 or  br?

Thanks,

Vu

    This is a Dell server R710 with one Xeon E5620 processor. The
    virtualization is set to on in the BIOS. This is the first guest on
    this server and it is  a full virtualization system.

            I have had this Dell server running Xen for a couple of
            years and decided to
            move to KVM. After moving all the guests to another server,
            I reboot this
            server using the non-Xen kernel and install KVM.

            Duing the process of installing the first guest, the host
            server panics.
            This happens three times in the same manner: after selecting the
            installation media, which is a local ISO file of RHEL5.5,
            the gurst's RHEL
            boot screen starts and loads files. Then boom, the console
            shows the panic
            screen and the server hangs.

            The server is RHEL5.7 and already yum updated.


            Any advices is greatly appreciated.

            Thanks,
