Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Xen 3.1-testing 32bit vmx fails to compile(CS 15577/tip)
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.6.070618
What type of CPU are you running? Is it valid retail silicon? Can you add a
line before the line that is crashing:
 printk("vmx_basic_msr == %08x:%08x\n", vmx_msr_high, vmx_msr_low);
 BUG_ON(((vmx_msr_high >> 18) & 15) == 6);

...and then tell me what that line prints out immediately before the crash?

'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from booting Linux on that system might also be
interesting, also the CPU vendor/version string printed by Linux in dmesg as
it boots.
