Hi Keir,

thanks, but it seems that I have just bad news for you.

now xen 3.1 (cs 15598) compiles on i386 and amd64 but at least on amd64 the 
hypervisor hangs at boot. I haven't tested i386 (besides that it compiles) 
yet. The last known working changeset for the amd64 hypervisor was 15590.

The most important part of the errormessage from the hypervisor:

Xen call trace:
 [<ffff828c8015f00c>] vmx_init_vmcs_config+0x1bc/0x1f0
 [<ffff828c80160430>] start_vmx+0x70/0x260
 [<ffff828c80146509>] identify_cpu+0xa8/0x200
 [<ffff828c801bbce6>] __start_xen+0x1ff6/0x24f0
 [<ffff828c801000b5>] __high_start+0xa1/0xa3

Panic on CPU 0:
Xen Bug at vmcs.c:159

If more information is needed, let me know.

  Ralph
