Ok, I've carefully built the latest pv_ops dom0 kernel twice.  Once from the 
config in the howto and once from the lucid server config modified by adding 
all the XEN configurations.  I get the same result both ways.  The pv_ops dom0 
kernel crashes right at the start of boot complaining like this:

do_exit
oops
a bunch of vmalloc stuff
child_rip
kernel_init
child_rip

The cpu is amd phenom ii x4 quad-core.  Can anyone shed some light on what may 
be the problem here?  

BTW:  I previously had the pv_ops dom0 2.6.31.6 kernel built and running on 
this hardware just fine under karmic.  But that kernel had issues with 
rxchecksumming.  I upgraded the server to lucid and am now trying to compile a 
new pv_ops dom0 kernel for it.
