I experienced the same problem on a Dell Latitude D620, a Dell Inspiron 8500, and 4 Dell 390s. I resolved my issues by updating by bios with the latest from dell and reloading the OS. I found and resolved this issue this way with Fedora 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Edition 5. I believe the BIOS is V 2.3.0.. Hope this helps. Good Day Mig H

So FC6 will stay on Xen 3.0.3. If you have HVM issues the best bet is to switch to Fedora 7 whcih is baed on Xen 3.1.0 which has much more advanced HVM support.

Well, I just tried installing SLES10 sp1 on the host today (xen 3.0.4 and whatever novell patches have been crammed in with it :-), and it seems to have solved my HVM problem, so I guess I'll use if for now.

I was astounded when I simply copied the VM config files from the old FC6 partition to the new sles partition and the VMs just booted with no alterations to the configs. That is so contrary to the normal linux experience :-).

I'm currently attempting to running the Fedora 7 XEN kernel on a Dell 390. Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz/1066MHz/4MB L2/Dual-core/VT. 128MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro NVS 285 Graphics 2GB, 667MHz, DDR2 SDRAM Memory 80GB SATA 3.0Gb/s with NCQ and 8MB DataBurst Cache

Problem: Whenever launching the virtual machine (virt-manager) the cursor gets stuck on along the Y-axis. I can freely move along the Y-axis but moving along the X-axis is almost impossible. If I slowly move the mouse it sometimes works, but normally I just get frustrated and reboot the box. Is there a configuration issue I've missed or is this a bug?

Hi,

I am using Fedora7 xen kernel version: kernel-xen-2.6.20-2925.11.fc7

and my xen version is: xen-3.1.0-2.fc7

and I am experiencing two difficulties. First is that my wireless network card is not working (intel 3945 a/b/g). I am using ipw3945 driver. It is loaded as a module when I check via lsmod. But /sbin/ipw3945d says:

No Intel Pro/Wireless Device Found.

It works perfectly with the non-xen kernel that is: 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7

The next thing that annoys me is that when I shut down the machine with the xen kernel it does stops all the process and at last shows my "System Halted"

and it stays right there. Doesn't really shut it down. With the non-xen kernel I don't have any such problem.

So are these problems are a unknown bugs ? And what steps do I need to take to eradicate these problems.

Thanks Deependra Singh Shekhawat -- http://freeshells.ch/~source/

This sounds a lot like:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241381

If this is the case, can you add a report to that bugzilla please. It would be useful to know some details of your machine since this doesn't seem to happen to everyone, and it also doesn't happen on RHEL 5 either.

Rich.
