Again rest of the message (?):
Kernel is not default, I have compiled it myself, but I think there are
no exotic things:
NetBSD xenbsd.domain.com 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (XEN3_DOM0) #0: Fri
Jan 19 14:46:24 EET 2007
@xenbsd.domain.com:/home/--/current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/obj/XEN3_DOM0_
i386
I also tried Kernel debugger (CTRL+ALT+ESC), but I'm really not sure
what to do there. tried next/continue and this is what I got:
Just before kernel prints xennetback_ifstart: no mcl_pages
this is executed:
Xennetback ifsoftstart+0x76b:ret
This was on a production machine so I couldn't debug more (I rebooted).
Does anybody have Ideas what seems to be wrong?
