Building from scratch didn't help at all. Everything the same as before

I can get one, but rather on Thursday or Friday.

Another issue with 2.6.10-xen0: mounting the root partition fails, because it 
is already mounted. I can't get post the mount step when booting. Didn't find 
anything in the docs. This would be a distribution related bug, if it didn't 
disapper when booting the normal kernel.
