Thread-topic: [Xen-ia64-devel] RFC: Switch to xlilo now? Or post-3.0?
FYI, I have booted xen-ia64-unstable tip (7738) successfully
on my RHEL3 box, so perhaps this problem only occurs when
using xlilo?  (I'm guessing you are booting debian?)
>From the error messages, I'd guess that some machine page
is being used by domain0 but then being xalloc'ed and
overwritten by Xen.

BTW, I think it is OK to allow old syntax (image=xen,
initrd=xenlinux) with elilo but require new syntax
(vmm=xen, image=xenlinux, initrd=initrd) with xlilo,
but I am open to discussion if others disagree.
