What does 'xm dmesg' say? There was a bug in 3.2.? that caused a
crash

an
install of Windows 2008, but it would crash very soon after login.

If you can use dpkg-buildpackage I can dig up the fix for you. I
might
even have the hypervisor image around that you could just drop in.
Let
me know if you want to try it.

James

ok. I can try to compile a kernel using dpkg-buildpackage, more of me
still needed?

I think it's the hypervisor that needs recompiling, but I can't be too
sure. It definitely wasn't the kernel though.

Try using this
http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/xen-3.2-1-svmfix-amd64.gz as your
hypervisor and see if the problem goes away. Otherwise it was a change
to qemu.

James

I have to recompile or simply indicate in /boot/grub/menu.lst new kernel with the old initrd.img?
