Kip,
Does the problem with Xen 3.1 in HVM/Intel manifest as those BTX halted
errors (e.g.
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-10/msg00014.html) ?
If so, do you happen to know whether this problem has been solved in Xen
3.2 or 3.2.1? This message of yours was written this March, so I'm
assuming that 3.2.1 will contain this fix?
Can anybody confirm this? I'm having a hard time finding an RPM for
CentOS 5.2/Xen 3.2.1 right now... I know this isn't a CentOS list, but
I'm just wondering if anybody has been able to boot FBSD 7.0/HVM/Intel
64 bit?
