Possibly a driver issue although the last successful run was using the same kernel so I assume had roughly the same drivers installed. Note that the 3.4 kernel boots fine without Xen, it is only under Xen that the boot fails and the machine restarts. > What I mean by hardware issue is the way the hardware interacts with the newer versions of xen. I guess what I should have said is that there is some unique issue with your hardware. The updates have have posted are needed for numerous security updates, so I would not recommend running older versions long term for security reasons ... BUT ... all the previously released software is here: http://vault.centos.org/6.4/xen4/ http://vault.centos.org/6.5/xen4/ and http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.6/xen4/ In this unique case (ie, your exact hardware and software combinations), you may need to experiment with and find the exact combination of software that works for you. In any event, all the software we have previously released is in those locations, so getting a combination that works so we can isolate the issue that causes it all to die is likely the best starting point. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
