Try booting the kernel as uni-processor only; I would suspect the problem of
booting SMP kernels (version 2.6.14 and
later, cpu_possible_map getting set up too late) still hasn't been addressed

Thanks for pointing that out. I started to suspect that might be
the case after diff'ing both
{xen-unstable,xen-3.0-testing}/linux-2.6-xen-sparse against
linux-2.6-xen.
So upon your suggestion, I installed xen and xen-tools from
xen-unstable at 8758, to see if that might make the 2.6.16-rc1
kernel fly. The result was the same: 2.6.16-rc1 crashes promptly,
2.6.12.6 starts without a hitch.
To check the sanity of my build options for the new kernel on this
box, I built a vanilla 2.6.16-rc2 kernel without Xen, and started it
without the hypervisor running (it worked).

I can start the 2.6.12.6 kernel on any Xen build from xen-3.0.0 to
xen-3.0-testing to the latest xen-unstable. I can't seem to get a
late-model linux kernel to boot though (either as a dom0 or domU,
actually).
Is there a revision after 2.6.12.6 and before the tip that it might
be useful to test?
Cheers,
