    • RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and Intel

      @stormi @andSmv
      Thank you!
      The patch seems to work.
      My VMs seem to run without any issues on my Ryzen 7950x.

      @andyhhp Thanks for the info.
      I plan to leave my current machine (Ryzen 7900) as is since it seems to be running well.
      I plan to build a new machine with the extra 7950x. The motherboard is on back order.
      I will try the new setting once it is built.

    • RE: Non-server CPU compatibility - Ryzen and Intel

      I ordered a Ryzen 7900 last night and got it this morning. (Thanks Amazon).
      I just replaced the 7950x with the 7900 and things seem to work better.

      I can run now a AlmaLinux 8 VM without the nopv flag.
      I can now run Xen Orchestra without the nopv flag.

      I will do some more testing.

      @andyhhp I built a new machine with my Ryzen 7950x.
      Booting Xen with x2apic_phys=true did not seem to fix any issues.
      😞

      I was having issues (download stalls) with the onboard 2.5Gb NIC (RTL8125) on the ASUS Prime B650M-A II-CSM motherboard even after I switched from the Ryzen 7950x to the 7900.
      My setup also includes a X540 10Gb NIC which seemed to be working well.

      I swapped the motherboard back to the ASRock B650M PG Riptide and was still having issues with the onboard 2.5Gb NIC.

      I disabled the onboard NIC and installed a second X540 and have not have any network issues so far.

      I'm guessing there might be an issue with the r8125 driver.

      Excluding the onboard 2.5Gb NIC, XCP-ng seems to run well on both motherboards.

      The BIOS errors in dmesg don't seem to be causing any issues.
      (The ASRock B650M PG Riptide seems like a nicer motherboard.)

      I built a system with a Ryzen 7950x on an ASRock B650M PG Riptide motherboard and was having similar issues as mgales. I switch to an ASUS Prime B650M-A II-CSM without any improvement.

      With the ASUS Prime, there were no BIOS errors reported.
      (I was able to get rid of 'ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve [_SB.PCI0.GPP7.UP00.DP40.UP00.DP68], AE_NOT_FOUND (20180810/dswload2-160)' by enabling the onboard audio.)

      I am able to run imported Windows VMs (Windows 10 and Server 2022) without any apparent issues.
      I can run an imported AlmaLinux 8 VM with the nopv kernel option.
      I can run the AlmaLinux 8 installer with the nopv option.
      I can run Xen Orchestra with the nopv option.
      I can also run an imported CentOS 6 VM without any additional options.

      The main issue seems to be a stuck CPU on the Linux VMs when using PV drivers.

      Could there be issues specific to Rzyen 7900x and 7950x?
