Xen devel - Jul 2006 - Xen-unstable kernel panics on boot

I have compiled xen-unstable from source and I am unable to boot the  
kernel that this creates. It appears to not be able to find my  
logical volumes to mount the root volume. Shortly after this, the  
kernel panics and the machine reboots.

Is there any option I can use when building the kernel to stop this  
reboot after the panic so that I can find out what is causing it?

I know about echoing things to proc to stop reboot / change the  
amount of time before reboot, but since I''m not getting far enough to  
have a proc filesystem, this doesn''t help me.

Thanks,

Please ignore this - turns out noreboot is my friend :D

You have zero privacy anyway, get over it
