Bug Description

The Linux Kernel 4.15 from bionic on x86_64 immediately crashes when booted as a dom0 under Xen.

A similar bug was reported by someone else for archlinux (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57500).

A patch exists for 4.16. I tried this patch on 4.15.0-10-generic, it fixes the problem for me. (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git/patch/?id=4f277295e54c5b7340e48efea3fc5cc21a2872b7).

I built a test kernel with commit 4f277295e54c5b7340e48efea3fc5cc21a2872b7. The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1752350

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

Note, to test this kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Thanks in advance!

@jsalisbury, I already have 4.15.0.11.12 installed... can you update your test kernel please?

Hi Joseph, I removed 4.15.0.11.12 and installed yours.

when booting without Xen it works fine, but if I attempt to boot it as dom0 is "hangs" ... not sure if it's worse or better than the automatic reboot I had before. Unfortunately I can't get any useful output as it's on a machine on a datacenter attached to a kvm. I see Xen's output until it initialised the vCPUs and then it goes blank. I don't know how to get useful output to post here in this case
