  It just happens that your kernel above (2.6.32-27+numa1) boots fine
under hypervisor _when_ passed 'numa=noacpi'. Yeah !

  I then tried again with Debian Squeeze's latest 2.6.32-28, which
crashes as -27 under hypervisor (and changelog show no xen or
numa-related thingies). Then I added 'numa=noacpi', and it boots fine
too. I got my 8 cores, networking, etc.

  Enclosed is the dmesg for the latter, Debian, kernel.

  Is the 'numa=noacpi' a "production acceptable" workaround ?
