           Summary: Ubuntu Dapper install cd fails to boot in HVM (unknown
                    opcode)
           Product: Xen
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: HVM
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: jclemens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I suspect the VTX emulation code is missing something needed by Ubuntu Dapper's
install ISO. When you try and boot from the server install iso, you get a blank
screen and this is 'xm dmesg':

Booting from CD-Rom...
Unknown opcode at 4004:153B=0x4157B
Halt called from %eip 0xD37FA

this happend with both xen-3.0.3 and xen 3.0.4 binary tarballs (community)

This is with the ubuntu-6.06.1-server-amd64.iso available at:
http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu//6.06/ubuntu-6.06.1-server-amd64.iso

It also fails for ubuntu 6.10 ISOs.  I have not been able to test this on an
AMD machine to see if SVN does any better.

Interestingly, the mini netboot iso available here works fine:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-amd64/20051026ubuntu35/images/netboot/mini.iso

To reproduce, just grab one of those isos and try booting from the cdrom image.
