[Xen-users] 2.6.30.1 dom0 Xen patches

[Michael Ralston <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been trying for several days to get a xen dom0 booting as
described on Boris Derzhavets blog.

I have been able to boot Jeremy Fitzhardinge's pv_ops kernel under
xen, but my X server wouldn't start so I've been trying to get Andrew
Lyon's rebased opensuse patches to work.

I have asked for help in the freenode ##xen channel but they haven't
been able to solve anything. I did find another person experiencing
the same problems as me though.

I've recorded the boot process on a camera so I could see what was
happening as it was so quick. When I boot the 2.6.30.1 patched kernel,
it gets up to "Scrubbing Free RAM:..." then reboots. I've tried
booting with the noreboot option, and the screen goes black when it
reaches "Scrubbing Free RAM:..."

It has been suggested to use a serial console to debug my problem, but
I don't have access to a pc with a serial port.

Attached is my kernel config, and below is the output of cpuinfo and
lspci. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help.
