Stange problem as we don't had such problems with other mail addresses
that used umlauts in headers, we're working on reproducing it. Looks
like a Perl-Module related problem in the spam filter as far as we got
until now...

title XEN pv_ops dom0
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=512M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
module /boot/bzImage-2.6.31-xen ro root=LABEL=ROOT earlyprintk=xen 4
module /boot/initramfs-2.6.31-xen

With this one i get no output from the kernel itself at all, i think i
have some things build as modules in my .config that needs to be buildin
for a working vga console (might be that i need to change the
earlyprintk param to vga) but didn't had the time to hunt the problem
down.


title XEN pv_ops dom0 with serial console
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=512M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
com1=9600,8n1 console=com1
module /boot/bzImage-2.6.31-xen ro root=LABEL=ROOT console=ttyS0,9600n8
earlyprintk=xen 4
module /boot/initramfs-2.6.31-xen

That's the one i used to grab the log.

This is a i945 based box with an Core 2 Duo E8400 and 4GB Ram installed
but only 2912584k usable because of an PCI-Card that supports only 32bit
addressing (appropriated-ram-crap). Could this be a problem? I try to
test again with 2GB Ram installed this evening and report if it gets any
further...
