The kernel or the config? I'm using the config given on the pvops wiki
page and I haven't made any modifications. Although I'm not sure if
SELinux is enabled so I might have to change that.

Yea I found this to be a little weird considering on other kernels the
uhci driver has no problems at all. Someone here thinks it might be an
issue with the ACPI aperture with things not lining up. I'm running an
optiplex 960 for my xen development box.

So I'm running on an updated Fedora 11 box. I've grabbed Jeremy's pvops
kernel from kernel.org and I'm using the latest xen-unstable tree as of
yesterday at 5pm. Several of the uhci host controller sections in dmesg
are reporting the same error but I have copied some of the error text
with the kernel oops below.
