Pkg xen devel - Mar 2010 - Bug#573574: xen-hypervisor-3.4-i386: xen-hypervisor does not boot inside KVM machine

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.4-i386
Version: 3.4.3~rc3-1
Severity: normal

i want to run the xen-hypervisor inside a KVM machine.
hypervisor is booting - blanks screen and stops before loading dom0.

it may sound strange to run a VM inside a VM, but i need this for testing.
the virtualized domUs should be run paravirtualized.

In general I think one would consider this sort of issue to be a problem
with the containing VMM (i.e. KVM in this case) in the first instance.
