Does the crash only occur when trying to boot an SMP guest - ie. do UP
guests start correctly?

Ryan and Anthony: I've attached a patch that I'd like you to apply to
your unstable tree -- it just printk's almost everything so I can get
an idea of the code path you're running.
Alternatively, the three .c files modified by the patch are also
attached - they're taken from 2005-04-14 unstable and you should be
able to just replace the files in your tree.

After changing your tree and rebuilding, please send the console logs
from boot onwards for xen/dom0 and domU, in a uniprocessor
configuration, both with and without using grant tables for block
transport.

thanks

Christopher
