Dom0 domain builder says page tables are at c1c55000 -> c1c6a000
/me guesses the initial page tables are released to the page allocator,
but still they are mapped r/o  =>  boom as soon as one happens to get
allocated.  Which probably happens very soon on memory-constrained
machines like mine, while other might stay up longer and show strange
bugs later on ;)
   
 
 Hm.  You should see "XEN PAGETABLES" in the early reservations, which 
should protect them from then on.  Oh, look, its only doing it in the 
64-bit setup.
 
BTW: The trick to see the messages on the laptop screen is:
 kernel /xen-3.3.gz vga=text-80x50,keep
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.29-rc7-tip-kraxel ro root=/dev/zen/rawhide \
        console=hvc0
  
 
 Hm, OK.  But normal vga console should work.  Works fine on 64-bit; 
can't think of why they might differ...
