Summary: Crash on coLinux start

Initial Comment:
coLinix is crashing when it's starting.  My machine is Windows xp SP3.  The crash only occurs when using a PAE kernel.  If PAE is disabled, then it will not crash.  I am using the 0.7.9 release and the Debian-6.0.1-squeeze.7z image.

This crash is not consistent.  I've created a little script that starts coLinux, waits, then kills it.  It does this in a loop until it crashes.  It will eventually crash, but it can be from as little as 10 tries upwards of 174 tries in the loop.  I've attached the script, it's test.sh.  I run this under cygwin.  I've also tried this on two separate boxes, both are winxp sp3 without PAE.  One box seems to crash quicker than the other, but they both eventually do it.

I've attached one of the minidump files.  From examining the dump files in windbg, they all appear the same.  The crash is in a thread that's not running linux.sys.  It always crashes at the nt!MiFreeInPageSupportBlock+0x2a.

Let me know if there's any more testing/information I can gather to track this down.

I ran your revized scripts and I got the same crash.  Running /sbin/halt is
a nice way to get around the killing of the program.

In all the crashes I've had, it's not from shutting down coLinux.  It only
crashes when starting it.

Also, crashes as soon as colinux-daemon.exe is started.  It doesn't even
have to boot linux.  For instance, in the test.sh script, if I change it to
this:
===test.sh===
#!/bin/bash

export COLINUX_CONSOLE_EXIT_ON_DETACH=1

count=0
while true; do
    ((count++))
    echo "Executing $count"
    echo "$count" > count.txt
    ./sync.exe
#    ./colinux-daemon.exe < at >squeeze.conf
    ./colinux-daemon.exe kernel=vmlinux
done
===end===

This still crashes windows.  Here, it's not even properly booting the
squeeze image, it's just starting the kernel.  I was able to reproduce this
crash after 2, 18 and 44 runs through the script.

One thing I noticed, you mentioned you tested this on Windows XP SP2.  I'm
running SP3 on this machine.  That could make a difference.  I think all of
the machines I've tried to test on have SP3 machines.  I'll try and get an
SP2 machine to test on as well.

Please try to run without "kill". Add "init=/sbin/halt" to colinux config,
and remove the "kill" from test.sh.

Additional add "export COLINUX_CONSOLE_EXIT_ON_DETACH=1" to the test.sh and
remove the "-d". This lets see the boot process and close the console after
every shut down.

I also stored the count into file and have installed sync.exe to save it
safely.

It's running without problems since 100 loops now.

Have seen, that you stops colinux-damon with "kill -9" (SIGKILL).
Does it also crash with normal termination "kill -15" (SIGTERM)?

I've added the fiiles you requested.

I had previously downloaded all of the symbols from the large symbol pack. 
When I did that, the stack trace was showing that the crash was at
nt!MiFreeInPageSupportBlock+0x2a.  This time, setup the symbol path to
download the symbols as needed.  Now it's showing the crash at
nt!KeBugCheck2+0x16.  I think that is more accurate.  I probably had the
wrong symbols before.

I've tried to use just the debian package and the 0.7.9 release with
nothing modified.  That should make my setup hopefully exactly the same as
yours.

As you can see in the config, 128MB of ram is allocated to coLinux and
windows itself has 3.5GB of ram.

I've run coLinux from cywin and from cmd.exe.  I get crashes in both.

How many MEM do you have installed in your machine and how many have
configured for coLinux?
Do you also use CygWin shell to start colinux-daemon under normal usage?

Summary: Crash on coLinux start

Initial Comment:
coLinix is crashing when it's starting.  My machine is Windows xp SP3.  The crash only occurs when using a PAE kernel.  If PAE is disabled, then it will not crash.  I am using the 0.7.9 release and the Debian-6.0.1-squeeze.7z image.

This crash is not consistent.  I've created a little script that starts coLinux, waits, then kills it.  It does this in a loop until it crashes.  It will eventually crash, but it can be from as little as 10 tries upwards of 174 tries in the loop.  I've attached the script, it's test.sh.  I run this under cygwin.  I've also tried this on two separate boxes, both are winxp sp3 without PAE.  One box seems to crash quicker than the other, but they both eventually do it.

I've attached one of the minidump files.  From examining the dump files in windbg, they all appear the same.  The crash is in a thread that's not running linux.sys.  It always crashes at the nt!MiFreeInPageSupportBlock+0x2a.

Let me know if there's any more testing/information I can gather to track this down.

Post your file "squeeze.conf" here.
How many MEM do you have installed in your machine and how many have
configured for coLinux?
Do you also use CygWin shell to start colinux-daemon under normal usage?

Initial Comment:
I shared a local NTFS disk through cofs (host is XP) and then I mounted it from inside the Linux image with the following mount options:

noattrib,nocache,uid=foo,gid=foo,fmask=0644

Then I navigate to the mounted cofs dir create a non-empty dir, e.g.

mkdir foo
echo bar > foo/bar

If I try to delete this dir with rmdir, instead of getting an error that the dir is non-empty, I get success but the dir still remains.

rmdir foo

Of course, "rm -r foo" will get rid of the dir, but the problem is that the rmdir() system call doesn't return an error for non-empty dirs, which confuses some software when using cofs shares from coLinux (notably CVS).

coLinux version is: 2.6.33.5-co-0.7.9-r1547

Initial Comment:
How do I set up gigabit link between host and guest? Looks like I'm only connected at 100Mbps. I checked the priority, and colinux-net-daemon.exe is set to high by default. I wanted to increase the MTU but seems to be limited to 1500, maybe I can hack it in the registry? I'm not sure if this will provide any performance improvements but just trying things out.

Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to do. Seems like something akin to
cofb would work better instead of emulating a network link. Since that does
not exist at the moment, I'm looking for other solutions.

If what you are trying to achieve is make host colinux network
communication faster. I think getting GE is not the direction. Since to the
colinux netdev driver FE or GE the same thing. We should look into how the
data being copied between host and colinux. For example, I am sure the cofb
drive use different way to copy data to host that suppose to be faster (no
test result to prove).

Summary: video playback slow

Initial Comment:
I got xorg, ssh server, firefox, flashplugin installed on the guest. Using the dummy driver and running Xming on WIndows XP SP3 host. Firefox is running but the video is very choppy, getting 10fps. I'm running host to guest through a dedicated TAP connection with another eth for internet connection. Any ideas on speeding up video playback? use different driver?

To me it sounds like nothing is wrong. 10fps video from a plugin inside a
browser over a remote X11 link sounds great. (yes the two machines are on
the same physical PC, but it's still a remote connection all the video data
has to be funneled across, with zero hardware acceleration)performance to
me.

Or should I use CyWin, VNC, NX? How do I find out what is causing the
slowness?
