Re: [Xen-devel] Crash during boot in Debian lenny default dom0 kernel (2.6.26-2-xen-686)

[George Dunlap <George.Dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking at the debian source package for this kernel to see if I
can sort out where it got the header from.

Given that this is already in a major distribution, is there any way
we can fail gracefully if someone's running this kernel?  I'm not
familiar enough with the MSI to know if this is possible, or what a
good set of "sanity checks" would be for failing the hypercall.
