           Summary: Error booting into Xen 3.2 unstable kernel
           Product: Xen
           Version: unstable
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux-2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Unspecified
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: kaushikb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx


I perform the following steps (as per README) to build a Xen-unstable kernel on
my machine with 64-bit Xeon processor, 2GB RAM 
(I already have a running Xen 3.0 with XenoLinux 2.6.12 but I cant use it's
.config for Xen-unstable as per some Xen forums since the minor version of
kernel differs)

1) Download Xen unstable source using mercurial
      hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
2) cd xen-unstable.hg
3) make world
4) make install
5) mkinitd /boot/inird-2.6.18.8-xen.img 2.6.18.8-xen
6) Add a GRUB bootloader entry for Xen unstable
       title Xen 3.2 unstable / XenoLinux 2.6.18.8
           root (hd0,1)
           kernel /boot/xen-3.2-unstable.gz dom0_mem=131072 com1=115200,8n1
           module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=/dev/sda2 ro console=ttyS0
           module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img

  Note: I have verified that xen-3.2-unstable.gz, vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen and
initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img have been newly created under /boot during "make
install".
7) reboot

Upon reboot, I choose the Xen unstable bootloader entry but here is what I get
on the cosole
#################################################
 Booting 'Xen 3.2 unstable / XenoLinux 2.6.18.8'

root (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/xen-3.2-unstable.gz dom0_mem=131072 com1=115200,8n1 
   [Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0xbc4b0:0x50b50>, shtab=0x20d078, entry=0x100000]
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=/dev/sda2 ro console=ttyS0 
   [Multiboot-module @ 0x20e000, 0x307b70 bytes]
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
   [Multiboot-module @ 0x516000, 0x1fc400 bytes]
#################################################

Note: There were no errors during "make world" or "make install". Can you help
me out with this error and how to resolve this? I am a newbie to Xen and to
building kernel in general.
