[Xen-devel] ntp hangs odd-num domains

[David B. <be...@cs...>]

This is kinda quirky. 

Somtimes my guests would hang after ntp started.  With some playing around
I determined this happens only in odd numbered domains.   Even numbered
domains run fine but when ntpd starts in the odd domains existing ssh
connetions hang, and I can't make new ssh connections.   The afflicted
domain does respond to ping and to 'xc_dom_control.py shutdown'.

This happens if I run the guests serially using the same root partition.

Domain 0 is not running ntp.  I suppose the clock is a shared resource
so I ought to only have DOM0 set it, and not the guests.

This is with the xeno-1.2.bk tree.


As for HIGHMEM4G, I am interested in working on it, but it will be a
couple weeks before I have an opportunity.
