Apologies if this is a known issue (I scanned the archive / bugzilla and did not see it).

Anyway, I upated from the today's src tarball and did a make world / install. Upon booting a domU I got the following crash:

Bringing up loopback interface:  network-functions: line 137: cd: 
/var/run/netreport: No such file or directory
[  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0...Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address cc3de022
 printing eip:
*pde = ma 00000000 pa 55555000
Oops: 0000 [#1]
PREEMPT SMP

I compared the domU .config with my previous working version from 8/11 and noticed that CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_GRANT_{TX,RX} options are now turned on (the only domU config changes). So I rebuilt the domU and it booted fine, network came up, etc.

I also noticed that running an install from with the domU directory places the domU kernel in /boot/boot:

[root@laurel linux-2.6.12-xenU]# make ARCH=xen install
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  CHK     include/asm-xen/asm_offsets.h
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CHK     usr/initramfs_list
mkdir -p /boot/boot
ln -f -s vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU /boot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU
rm -f /boot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU
install -m0644 vmlinuz /boot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU
install -m0644 vmlinux /boot/boot/vmlinux-syms-2.6.12-xenU
install -m0664 .config /boot/boot/config-2.6.12-xenU
install -m0664 System.map /boot/boot/System.map-2.6.12-xenU
