Mark,
I am getting that message when I begin the install process. If I run it with "noacpi" option set, then I can install and run fc6 just fine. However, xen kernel wouls still panic on CPU0 and will not load. I'm not limited to running fc6, so, if you know of other Linux flavor that will play well with my hardware as Dom0, I'll be glad to give it a try. As an alternative, I could get a different set of hardware, but, again - I do not know which combination will work well. Let me know what you think.

Are you getting that message when you begin the install?
If you have Knoppix, try running that since the time invested is minimal. If it runs clean then you know it might be kernel conflict in FC6. I have to admit I've yet to try and setup FC6 on the AM2 board.
If you want to be very_safe, try to shutdown, reset the bios, and start over with "set optimal defaults" for your board.
Then run memtest86 through test 4 or 5
I feel your pain ... it seems that the AM2 form factor is very green banana -- not ripe enough for good taste.

ACPI: Core revision 20060707 MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer does not work! Try using 'noapic' parameter
What do you think?

Looks fine -- its the 686 kernel.
What I've noticed about Abit kn9 is that default DDR2 voltage is too low for most RAM! Be sure that you use the latest bios (go to the abit site for your model and check) and get some idea what voltage your RAM needs. Most of the new DDR2 RAM needs at least 2.0 volts. I use 2.2 volts to be safe.
Also run #sensors-detect
and see if your cpu is being throttled. Do #modprobe cpufreq_ondemand
and see if the #sensors
output changes. You might see cpu voltage start to throttle.
cheers, Mark

What isn't clear is what arch of FC6 you installed. Somehow I don't think you installed the x86_64.
If you installed the i386 version of FC6, then there is a known bug where the Anaconda installer will use 586 instead of 686.
To check, do #updatedb #locate kernel.h
show the complete path returned from above. Personally I'm running openSuSE 10.2 x86_64 and I'm able to boot Xen without issues. My domU's include WinXP sp2, BootitNG, and Knoppix 5.1
good luck, Mark

Upon loading Fedora Core 6 I've noticed that kernel panics unless set a boot option "noapic" With this option set I can load fc6 without xen. However, if I load Xen-enables fc6 it panics on boot stating a panic on CPU0 related to timer. Then the system goes into reboot so fast I can not even capture the entire error message. I've got this system specifically to run xen, so it is critical for me to be able to run fc6 with xen.
Any help is highly appreciated.
