This patch fixed also a NFS freeze for me in my XEN domU. I just build a software project both in dom0 and domU in parallel (but in different build directories) and it freezes during the first 5 minutes. (Hardware: a quad core intel CPU, dom0 OpenSuse 10.2, domU Debian etch). It's now also much faster (by a factor 5--10 for a configure script). It still not as fast as expected so you may extent the patch :-) > Could you please test the attached patch from RHEL5 and report if it resolves > the problem for you? It does at least for me, so please apply the patch. > Instructions on how to compile a modified kernel can be found at > http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelCustomCompilation I just copied the patch into patches/ of Xen 3.1 source and added it to patches/series and did a normal build of Xen. Fairly simple (at least if one does not forget to updates the modules in the domU)! Thanks! PS: Where does the patch come from? Are there more? Jens
