[lxc-devel] lxc on ia64

[Vadym S. Khondar]

Hello everybody.

Not sure if I am posting on the right list with this question.

I'm interested in project status on ia64 platform.

The latest tar.gzs have a check within configure concerning system where 
package is being built and ia64 is not there. Minor hack allows to 
bypass this limitation and build succeeds. However I'm facing problems 
running then.
E.g. lxc-start fails with message:

lxc-start: sync wake failure : Broken pipe
lxc-start: failed to spawn 'devel'

This happens due to child process crash with core.

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
Core was generated by `/opt/lxc/0.7.5/bin/lxc-start -n devel -l DEBUG'
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x20000000000751c1 in do_clone (arg=Cannot access memory at address 
0x60000fffff90b2f0
) at namespace.c:58
58	{
(gdb) bt
#0  0x20000000000751c1 in do_clone (arg=Cannot access memory at address 
0x60000fffff90b2f0
) at namespace.c:58
#1  0x2000000000285d00 in __clone2 () from /lib/libc.so.6.1
#2  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

(This goes from version built without optimisations (no -O2))

Is this solely problem of my setup or, if no, are there plans to make it 
run on ia64? I could help with testing.

Test platform is: Debian 6.0.3 Linux 2.6.32-5-itanium ia64

Thanks for comments in advance!
