Could you try:-

/boot/xen.gz  dom0_mem=1024M
. . . . . . . . . . .

Boris.
P.S. I had the same issue.

Hi,
I've installed latest PVops kernel 2.6.32.21 (upgraded from 2.6.32.15 using the very same kernel build configuration - i.e. copied the config-2.6.32.15 file to the kernel source directory) and I can boot without hypervisor (using the standard kernel/initrd directives in grub) but not with the hypervisor since it fails.

Call trace is:

And the host is stuck and can't boot.

Was it OK to use the config from 2.6.32.15 for 2.6.32.21 build or any pointers what may be going on? The kernel/system is x86_64 system running on RHEL-5 with the PVops kernel now but as I said, it can't boot with the hypervisor but everything is fine (except Xen) when booting without the hypervisor.

Thanks,
Michal
