Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Re: Xen cannot boot with pvops dom0
I think detailed output of dmesg (both xen and dom0) will be helpful.

I checked  the log again, and noticed following output. Seems there is IRQ 
source override for timer in the platform and dom0/xen have different idea of 
timer source in check_timer().

>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: apic=0, pin=2, old_irq=0, new_irq=-1
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: old_entry=000009f0, new_entry=00010900
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: Attempt to remove IO-APIC pin of in-use IRQ!
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: apic=0, pin=4, old_irq=4, new_irq=-1
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: old_entry=000009f1, new_entry=00010900
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: Attempt to remove IO-APIC pin of in-use IRQ!
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: apic=0, pin=0, old_irq=-1, new_irq=0
>> (XEN) ioapic_guest_write: old_entry=00010900, new_entry=000009f0
