What is your setting for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR in your compile? There
are bits of xen_kernel_start that break if you have this enabled.


[root@dom0test linux-2.6-xen]# grep CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR .config
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not set

So it's not that..

Strange, because it looked pretty similar to the second crash of
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-02/msg00852.html
and the followup
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-02/msg00875.html
It might be worth double-checking the state of -fstack-protector -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all etc. in your Makefile.
