Hi.

I'm having trouble booting Xen 3.3.1.

Here's an abbreviated copy of what I see when I try to boot:

(XEN) Found 3 MBR signatures
(XEN) Found 3 EDD information structures
(XEN) Xen-e820 RAM map:
(XEN) ... (usable)
(XEN) ... (reserved)
(XEN) ... (reserved)
(XEN) ... (usable)
(XEN) ... (ACPI data)
(XEN) ... (ACPI NVS)
(XEN) ... (reserved)
(XEN) ... (reserved)
(XEN) Unknown interrupt (cr2=00000000)
...

Xen install:

Code: Select all

[506]$ equery w xen
/usr/portage/app-emulation/xen/xen-3.3.1-r1.ebuild

I built the xen-related packages with -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs, but the rest of the existing system hasn't been compiled that way (yet).

Code: Select all

Based on fragmentary info from Google searches, I tried disabling acpi, but got same results:

Code: Select all

kernel /boot/xen.gz acpi=off
module /boot/vmlinux root=/dev/sda3

Code: Select all

Because I changed several things at once, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the sse stuff in CFLAGS was the problem. Following works:

Code: Select all

# Non-Xen
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -pipe -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -s"
# Xen
#CFLAGS="-march=i686 -pipe -O2 -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs"
#LDFLAGS=
