Hi,
I'm sorry, I messed up the mailing list addresses - anyways, it's a bit centos related and the thread touches the question "why on earth does my 3ware 9550SX-LP controller work under centos and why doesn't it work under xen?" ;-) See http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-09/msg00760.html for the discussion thread. BTW, has anybody an idea about this issue? Regards Michael

I tried the "in-kernel" driver, i.e. I modified the config to include 3w-9xxx in the kernel 2.6.16, not as a module. I must admit that the mkfs went through this time, but as soon as I do some additional 'dd' or 'cp' it doesn't take me longer than 10 sec to receive this crash (sorry, no more information than the screen, because the machine crashes and because it doesn't write logs for obvious reasons). Have you got some idea?
Do you have a 64-bit PCI or a 32-bit PCI?
Hi,
it's a 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X. see http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon800/E7520/X6DH8-G2+.cfm
There must be something different about the way the kernel and its components are composed and unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to find it. Under the kernel that came with CentOS (2.6.9) the controller works perfectly, it's only the 2.6.16 that comes with xen that produces trouble. Is there any more debug options I could activate to provide more details?
I don't want to move away from xen although I've already tried (the) openvz (kernel), which works perfectly during high io load, but xen seems more sympathic to me. I hope this messy technical detail doesn't force me to change to a different product.
Thanks for any more hints!
