   Try this tree:

http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable.hg

It looks like you're hitting a known issue we have in the xen-untable.hg
tree.  Isaku is trying to work out a solution, but we have a workaround
in the ia64 tree that handles it.  The error message is misleading, the
problem actually occurred earlier with all of the "Bad page" errors.
Thanks,

        Alex
