------- Comment #3 from johneed@xxxxxxxxxxx  2011-07-30 07:31 -------
It seems the cause of this is in gentoo terms the use of the use flags acm and
xsm.  See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361345.
It seems disabling these flags allows the hypervisor to boot vms.
What I need to know is where this flaw comes from.  There is a gentoo package
xsm, but not asm.
asm is a security portion of the source.
Is the flaw in the gentoo package xsm, is it the xensource code, and can you
list the step or steps to sensure xsm and acm directly in the xensource code so
I can replicate it;  suspect they are options manually put after make on the
command line.
