Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch


Hi,

I'm having troubles with windows 2008 server with HVM on XEN. When I allocate more than one CPU to the Windows VM, windows crashes after a few minutes with a BSOD.
Other people have this problem, too.

The Exact error message (BSOD) is: (the unique lines)

A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval.

STOP: 0x00000101 (0x0000000000000019,0x000000000000000000, 0xfffffa60018af180,0x000000000000000005)


The patch discussed here (http://markmail.org/message/jvp2hwnajpjilwfu) should fix this issue.
This patch improves the responsiveness/performance of HVM guests, too.

Regards,

Hans-Christian Armingeon
