I'd recommend continuing to pursue this upstream, there are far more experts on the low level aspect of things there. Ian.

[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#760563: Bug#760563: xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64: Xen >=4.1 not booting on IBM HS20
Hi, First of all, thanks for your help. I have made some test with this results debian testing with xen 4.4 can run if we add mmcfg=0 as boot options to kernel boot parameters !!! Remember that with xen kernel <=4.0 works perfect without to add mmcfg=0 I have tried to install citrix xenserver 5.6 and works perfect (remember that this is xen 3 branch) Also we have tried to install xenserver 6.2 but during boot install using: menu.c32 and add boot parameter mmcfg=0 and after to install boot we have added mmcfg=0 in extlinux and executed extlinux -i /boot to update bootloader With this seems to work, and it could be a possible workaround? My questions are: - mmcfg: I'm not sure where is used and what happen if we use xen without mmcfg. Why with xen <=4.0 is not needed anb for xen >4.0 is a requirements for this hardware. Will be solved? - Can I use for production environment this configuration?
