------- Comment #4 from at@xxxxxxxxxx 2010-12-20 10:33 -------
Passing dom0_mem=max:4GB to the hypervisor works around the issue. Some output
excerpts will follow (I hope I didn't strip off relevant parts):

numa=off didn't do the trick. I can't tell whether the command line switch is
unknown or the problem yet exists. The output however, is very similar to the
first dmesg and the kernel keeps crashing with the same message. The only
difference is, that passing numa=off doesn't crash the the kernel immediately
but after a bit where no output is shown on the console in the meantime (I
guess Xen probes SRT tables on its own. Please note I have no idea what I'm
talking about here, since I'm not familiar with such low level tasks, although
I do know what NUMA is for).
