I forgot to include the hypervisor's log.  Here it is:

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to change where a 64-bit PV Linux kernel resides. So I changed __START_KERNEL_map from 0xffffffff80000000UL to 0xffffffffc0000000UL in linux-2.6.18-xen.hg/include/asm-x86_64/mach-xen/asm/page.h. When I tried to boot that kernel, I got the following error message from xm create: Error: (1, 'Internal error', 'arch_setup_bootlate: pin_table failed (pfn 0x7b5, rc=1)\n')

I spent some time trying digging into the hypervisor to understand the above message, but I didn't get anywhere.

So I have two questions:
1) Why is the above error message happening?
2) Am I forgetting any other place where constants need to change? (Either in the Linux kernel tree or in Xen.)

Thanks,
Mike
