Pkg xen devel - Feb 2011 - Bug#612237: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64: Fails to boot after upgrade from lenny

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64
Version: 4.0.1-2
Severity: important

I upgraded today from Lenny to Squeeze. I upgraded via apt-get 
dist-upgrade and
then installed the new xen-packages (including hypervisor and kernel).
But I wasn't able to boot the system after the upgrade anymore with Xen 
enabled:
On every boot-attempt, I just get "elf_init: not an ELF binary". I 
googled a lot
but I just found an unanswered bugreport against backports and no solution.

I never built my own kernel or sth like this, I was doing all the 
"debian-way".
I hope somebody has a solution for this, as I was upgrading a running,
productive server.

Greets and Thanks,
Michael Vogt

Please can you provide full boot logs as well as your grub configuration
file and the exact kernel version(s) you have got installed.

Thanks,
Ian.
