[Xen-bugs] [x86_64] Kernel panic when creating first VM (same behavior on 2.6.27, 2.6.32, ...)

[Pierre CHAUSSEE <silversens@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been using Xen on different x86 platforms without any troubles.
I'm trying it for the first time on a pure x86_64 system.

Everything went well for xen compilation, same for compiling dom0 kernel, and 
booting on it.
But when I tryed to start my first VM, a kernel panic appeared, I've been 
trying upgrading to a newer dom0 kernel and the 4.0 release of xen, nothing 
helped, still the same behavior.

Here's what I get (and see attached my dom0 .config file for kernel 2.6.32) :

$ xm create /etc/xen/first_vm
