I also tried with 2.6.23 which crashes instantly, without any output of the

I'm not too surprised. Non-PAE Xen is a bit of a rarity, and it only gets tested rarely. Chris Wright did spend some time on it a while ago, but I don't know that its had any real attention since. I've been making sure non-PAE compiles, but I've been lax about testing it.

This is the first usermode exec, I guess? The backtrace is a bit odd; I've never seen a problem in move_page_tables before.

Does "xm dmesg" tell you what Xen is complaining about? You may need to compile with debug=y in Config.mk.
