Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Re: Xen crash during boot with debug=y
There is a known debug=y problem caused by cs# 19602.  We will be submitting a 
patch shortly for it.

Are you using a NHM system?

Hm, I added some code to the check_lock() to print whenever it was
initializing, and found that the lock in pci.c was initialized to
zero.

So I added some code to double-check the lock, modifying the layout of
pci.c slightly, and the problem went away.

Which likely means that there's a buffer overflow somewhere clobbering
the spinlock debug value.  Fun, fun, fun...
