The reason why I wanted to use a 2.6.16 kernel is the following. When
I installed this morning the "vanilla unstable" version I downloaded,
it created only one kernel, 2.6.16.13-xen. I booted the system with
it, and it didn't work well because of some network card, but RHEL
acutally booted. I didnt check the output while it booted, but I
assumed that it was using all the cpus. So I reconfigured the kernel
with my kernel config, and I got the crash.
I am inserting some extra code in XEN to check how many cpus it is
seeing. But this is the first time I look into XEN's code, so I am
going very slow.
Thanks,
Pablo

Our smpboot.c in Linux should only try to initialise context for cpus
in cpu_possible_map. And that map is initialised by querying Xen about
the state of each VCPU. So it's unclear how you can end up getting this
crash. Looks like it needs some more tracing added...
