Pkg xen devel - Nov 2008 - The debian dom0 64 bits kernel crashes at boot time

Hi,

I just wanted to give a bit of feedback here.

i have tried the Xen amd64 kernel from the kernel team and it just
crashes with a stack dump on my laptop (thinkpad t500, that is a quite
new stuff but will be a common thing very soon I beleive).

Then I have tried the kernel 2.6.27 from the Xen repository that you can
find here:

http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.27-xen.hg

It's booting and working quite well even though I didn't succeed yet to
start a VM with a nic and a HDD (there's a hotplug error, maybe I should
try a bit more until I can say there's really some issues here...).

Now, what can I do to improve the situation?

I also use this kernel, without problems. Do you use this kernel?

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64
version 2.6.26-10.

xen2:/usr/local/sbin# uname -a
Linux xen2.build2be.nl 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 8 21:20:04 UTC
2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The older versions had swap-problems.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
