<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m new to xen virtualization on CentOS, but I have
been unable to find the answer to this problem I’m experiencing. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My setup: AMD quad core (64bit), 8Gb ram. CentOS 5.3 dom0,
CentOS 5.3 domU’s (paravirtualized). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Dom0 is set up with two NIC’s, the built-in and a PCI
card, and I set up xen bridging on both interfaces. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My domU’s seem to boot up fine, run fine, and shutdown
fine. However, if I attempt a reboot operation, they go into a state where
they continually crash on startup. I have been unable to ascertain why this
happens, and I do not know how to fix it when it does happen. So, my question
is twofold:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>How do I get it out of the continual boot/crash cycle?
Xm destroy doesn’t work, none of the GUI tools work. So far the only
answer has been rebooting dom0, which is not a good answer <span
style='font-family:Wingdings'>L</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Has anyone else seen this/solved this? Besides being
able to manually fix it from #1 above, it sure would be nice to have it able to
reboot as expected. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I haven’t worked with any fully virtualized guests
yet, but I will try that pretty soon and see if it evidences the same
behavior. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know what additional information would be
helpful or what I can do to facilitate debugging this issue. <o:p></o:p></p>
