Can you still see below line in the serial log? Is there anything different?
(XEN) [HVM:1.0] <vlapic_tdt_msr_set> ignore tsc deadline msr write
In my side, I can see above line, and nested dom0 will hang while booting if
without this change. But things become ok after applying this change. So could
you give more details after apply this change (again, serial log, nested dom0
output, etc) ?
Jimmy
