I''m bringing this discussion onto Xen-devel as it smells like it needs
some
more specific developer input than I can give.

Do you mean that it hangs during boot if SMP is not compiled into the guest
kernel?  That seems strange, I''ll try that out myself and see what
happens.

How far into the boot does it manage to get?  Has it started running userspace
apps (the normal startup messages starting essential services), or is it
still during the kernel initialisation?

I''ve booted a kernel successfully on a UP AMD64 box with an SMP 2.6.23
kernel,
vcpus = 1 but I didn''t bother giving it a virtual disk, so I
don''t know if
userspace worked.  I''ll give it a try shortly...

Cheers,
Mark
