[Xen-users] Xen and EVMS/Raid5 - Null pointer dereference

Hi,

A problem with EVMS and Xen:

I have patched a 2.6 kernel with the evms patches and then with the Xen patched,
compiled and installed it. (kernel is 2.6.11.9 - which is what this server has
been running for the past few months w/o the evms patches)

At first everything seems to work just fine, I am able to use evms to create a
new "volume", in this case it is based on MD/RAID-5 but when the
volume starts to sync/resync I am getting "Unable to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000". (see output below)

Are the evms kernel patches incompatible with Xen or is the problem something
entirely different? Has anyone gotten EVMS and Xen working on a 2.6 kernel?

Any ideas to the cause of this are appreciated!
