6.2.4 . x86_64 Archit ectures
When the Dynamic IRQs available for guests virtual machines were exhausted, the dom 0 kernel
would crash. In this update, the crash condition has been fixed, and the number of available IRQs
has been increased, which resolves this issue.
On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the
virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling. In this update, the virtualized kernel
now retrieves CPU APIC ID from the hypervisor, allowing CPU frequency scaling to be initialized
properly.
6.3. Known Issues
6.3.1. All Architect ures
Diskette drive media will not be accessible when using the virtualized kernel. T o work around this,
use a USB-attached diskette drive instead.
Note that diskette drive media works well with other non-virtualized kernels.
In live migrations of paravirtualized guests, time-dependent guest processes may function improperly
if the corresponding hosts' (dom0) times are not synchronized. Use NT P to synchronize system
times for all corresponding hosts before migration.
Repeated live migration of paravirtualized guests between two hosts may cause one host to panic. If
a host is rebooted after migrating a guest out of the system and before migrating the same guest
back, the panic will not occur.
Formatting a disk when running Windows 2008 or Windows Vist a as a guest can crash when the
guest has been booted with multiple virtual CPUs. To work around this, boot the guest with a single
virtual CPU when formatting.
Fully virtualized guests created through virt-m anager may sometimes prevent the mouse from
moving freely throughout the screen. To work around this, use virt-manager to configure a USB
tablet device for the guest.
The maximum CPUs must be restricted to less than 128 when on a 128 or greater CPU system. The
maximum that is supported at this time is 126. Use the m axcpus=126 hypervisor argument to limit
the Hypervisor to 126
Fully virtualized guests cannot correct for time lost due to the domain being paused and unpaused.
Being able to correctly track the time across pause and unpause events is one of the advantages of
paravirtualized kernels. This issue is being addressed upstream with replaceable timers, so fully
virtualized guests will have paravirtualized timers. Currently, this code is under development
upstream and should be available in later versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Repeated migration of paravirtualized guests may result in bad mpa messages on the dom 0
console. In some cases, the hypervisor may also panic.
To prevent a hypervisor kernel panic, restart the migrated guests once the bad mpa messages
appear.
When setting up interface bonding on dom 0, the default network-bridge script may cause
bonded network interfaces to alternately switch between unavailable and available. This
occurrence is commonly known as flapping.
To prevent this, replace the standard network-script line in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp with
the following line:
(network-script network-bridge-bonding netdev=bond0)
