It may be some ACPI related issue that will be fixed in the not too
distant future. Try enabling debug and verbose in xen - that *might*
tell you more.

Alas, debug mode give me nothing. Same error and same logs. Normal booting
of my 2.6.11 kernel goes like this

kernel: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
kernel: ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with
idebus=xx
kernel: NFORCE2: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:09.0
kernel: NFORCE2: chipset revision 162
kernel: NFORCE2: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later
kernel: NFORCE2: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.
kernel: NFORCE2: 0000:00:09.0 (rev a2) UDMA133 controller
...

but if i try xen-patched 2.6.10 it says following and halt

kernel: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
kernel: ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with
idebus=xx

I want to try 2.6.11 kernel to work with xen. Is there way to do that? Where
can i get xen patches?

Konstantin.

Hrrrm. Might be fixed by the ACPI changes in the unstable tree. You could
try that out - those fixes look unlikely to go into a release until 3.0
itself.

The -testing and -unstable trees both use 2.6.11 by default.

Alliluia, it works! Thanks a lot for responses.
Booting from unstable prebuild packages goes fine. Unfortunately building
from source cause
some errors:

cpu.o(.text+0xa62): In function `bx_cpu_c::cpu_loop(int)':
: undefined reference to `xc_evtchn_send'
main.o(.text+0x59d0): In function `bx_init_main(int, char**)':
: undefined reference to `xc_interface_open'
../memory/libmemory.a(misc_mem.o)(.text+0x3fb): In function
`bx_mem_c::init_memory(int)':
: undefined reference to `xc_get_pfn_list'
../memory/libmemory.a(misc_mem.o)(.text+0x44c): In function
`bx_mem_c::init_memory(int)':
: undefined reference to `xc_map_foreign_batch'
../memory/libmemory.a(misc_mem.o)(.text+0x4b3): In function
`bx_mem_c::init_memory(int)':
: undefined reference to `xc_map_foreign_range'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If anyone can shed the light, i'll be very happy :).

Thanks, Konstantin.

Good news! Perhaps it'll work on my desktop now too :-)

The errors appear to be in the device model code. I'm sure it'll get fixed
but in the meantime you can do:

XEN_NO_IOEMU=y make <whatever>

In the repository root. Not building the ioemu package won't matter to you,
since I imagine you don't have VT hardware (given it's not on sale yet :-p).

Cheers,
Mark

Hello.
I had no internet access last three days, so wasn't able to reply.
Great, it fixed my problems. However, sometimes appears some
instabilities. I'll post about them some times later.

In any case, thanks for support %).

Konstantin.
