Hi,

I finally found why Xen sometimes crashes before any console output.  It was 
not a Xen bug but an elilo bug.
elilo does not flush data cash.

I was maybe the first one to hit this bug since:
* linux seems too big to hit this bug
* processors before montecito do not hit this bug
* Montecito A1 may have other cache issues.

Please confirm.

Thanks.
Tristan.
