Pkg xen devel - Oct 2006 - Bug#390927: xen-hypervisor-3.0.2-1-i386: Xen kernel panics when booting

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.0.2-1-i386
Version: 3.0.2-3+hg9762-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When booting Xen Dom0 on my Dell 2950, the kernel panics.  I have been
unable to get the serial console working under xen (works under normal
kernels), so the best debugging info I can provide is a screenshot of
the console when it dies.  I will attach that after the bug is opened.
If you have suggestions for capturing the entire crash, I will be glad
to follow them.

Hmm, I have linux-image-2.6.18-1-xen-686 and
linux-image-2.6.17-2-xen-686 installed.  My grub menu.lst looks like this:

title           Xen 3.0.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-1-xen-686
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen-3.0.2-1-i386.gz
module          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1-xen-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro
console=ttyS1,57600n8 console=tty0
module          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-1-xen-686
savedefault

title           Xen 3.0.2-1-i386 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17-2-xen-686
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen-3.0.2-1-i386.gz
module          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-xen-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro
console=ttyS1,57600n8 console=tty0
module          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-xen-686

Are these not the correct kernels for Xen?
