Xen devel - May 2006 - RE: dom0 issues with switching from X to console orstarting X

Jan-

If you are running fully virtualized guests then Jun Nakajima fixed a
problem that was put into the Xen unstable tree this morning that was
probably affecting you.  The page table entry for page 0 was getting
corrupted after the first fully virtualized guest ran, causing problems
for X.  I''d try the latest Xen unstable tree and see if that fixes your
problem.

No - as said in the original description, we see this with solely running dom0.

Hey all,
    I was wondering if anyone out there knew of any work to port Xen to ARM? 
Has there been anything done on this so far?

Thanks,
Philip Reames
