Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-12-xen

So, this is what happens:

I start an HVM domain on the Xen system (it seems not matter which kind of it is), I can reproduce this with either Windows or Linux systems. Here is the configuration of one of them:

#Kernel and memory size
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.1/boot/hvmloader'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.1/bin/qemu-dm'
builder = 'hvm'
memory = '1024'
#disk = [ 'phy:/dev/slc4/slc4_disk,ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/home/rabello/tmp/iso/SLC45_i386_dvd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/slc4/slc4_disk,ioemu:hda,w' ]

# Hostname and Networking
name = 'pcuw32slc4'
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]

# Behaviour
boot='c' #d is cdrom boot, c is disk boot.
vnc=0
#vncviewer=1
sdl=1

So, it uses SDL and not VNC. I choose SDL because with VNC the same problem happens much faster, as soon as I create the hosted system.

Well, the domain boots and so and after a few instants, the windows session on dom0 (the ubuntu host) has the mouse frozen. The keyboard continues to work. Occasionally, I see that the mouse starts misbehaving (left clicks not working properly) before it dies as described above.

If I try to go into the console and back into the X server, the keyboard stops also to work.

If I unconnect the mouse and reconnect, it does not come back (by the way, it is an USB mouse), but the keyboard goes back to life.

The problem does not affect running applications, but if I try to reboot, the kernel panics saying:

Hi, I did test this with the kernel you mentioned. I've made it to work as
well and here was the problem. If one assigns more memory than it is
available physically to VMs working concurrently, the result is a crash in
the OS, followed by the trace I posted before.

There is basically nothing preventing me to do so. It would be good to have
this either limited or impossible to reset to avoid such conditions.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
