*SOLVED* vzctl Got signal 4 [message #2918]

Hi,

I'm new to OpenVZ and having some trouble getting it going. I've downloaded kernel 2.6.16, and applied patch-026test009-combined.gz. I used kernel-2.6.16-026test009-i686.config, but changed the processor type to VIA C3.

Here's how I try to create a new VPS:

root@host2:~# vzctl create 1001 --ostemplate centos-4-i386-minimal
Creating VPS private area: /vz/private/1001
Performing postcreate actions
VPS private area was created
root@host2:~# vzctl set 1001 --ipadd 192.168.3.4 --save
Saved parameters for VPS 1001
root@host2:~# vzctl start 1001
Starting VPS ...
VPS is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.3.4
Got signal 4
Setting CPU units: 1000
VPS start in progress...
root@host2:~# vzctl exec 1001 ps ax
Got signal 4
root@host2:~#

Some additional info:

root@host2:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo

Anyone have idea idea why it doesn't work?

Signal 4 == SIGILL.
i.e. vzctl (or some other bindary inside template?) contains illegal instructions for your CPU.
Have you recompiled vzctl and vzquota as well?

Also your try:

root@host2:~# vzctl exec 1001 ps ax
Got signal 4

makes me believe, that centos4 binaries are compiled with flags incompatible with Via C3 processor.

Thanks for your response.

The Centos template is centos-4-i386-minimal.tar.gz, so it should run on the C3 processor (which is not fully i686 compatible).

I've compiled vzctl and vzquota from source with an i486 target.

Xen won't run on this processor due to, I believe, the processor using a different pagesize than standard. Could this also be the problem with OpenVZ?

Thanks,
Jan

It should not be a problem for OpenVZ itself as it can work on any arch where std linux works.
You need to strace vzctl and find which binary and why crashes.
I still think that some binaries are built with inappropriate options for your CPU.

You're right, even though an image has 'i386' in the name, it might very well contain i686 code. For example, Fedora Core will install some i686 rpms if it detects an i686 compatible processor. Which will break things if you then copy this image to a non-i686 processor.

Thanks for your help.
