I've just was able to reproduce  Thiago's  instruction on Lucid RC for Xen 4.0 & 2.6.32.10 pvops kernel ( C2D E8400 , ASUS P5Q-E, 8 GB RAM) . ACPI Processor
has been disabled, what is particular MB issue

 git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git linux-2.6-xen
 cd linux-2.6-xen
 git checkout -b xen/stable origin/xen/stable


2. Configure, compile and install:
 
 make menuconfig # Enabled the dom0 support and the Xen backend as usual on U   9.10, F12

 make -j2
 chmod g-s /usr/src -R    
 make deb-pkg
 dpkg -i ../linux-image*2.6.32.10*.deb

I previously had the pv_ops dom0 2.6.31.6 kernel built and running on my hardware (amd phenom ii x4 quad-core) just fine under karmic.  But that kernel had issues with rxchecksumming.  So I upgraded the server to lucid and am now trying to compile a new pv_ops dom0 kernel for it.

Now, yesterday I carefully built the latest 2.6.32.10(xen/stable) pv_ops dom0 kernel twice.  Once from the config in the email Lucid pv_ops dom0 howto and once from the lucid server config modified by adding all the XEN configurations.  I get the same result both ways.  After building the kernel, I try to start the pv_ops dom0 kernel as domU just to make sure it runs and it crashes right at the start of boot complaining like this:

I fired up the old 2.6.31.6 kernel with lucid and it boots just fine as domU.

Can anyone shed some light on what may be the problem here and how I can build a working 2.6.32.10 pv_ops dom0 kernel for this hardware?
