It would be very helpful if you can get a serial console set up.  But failing that, can you at least take a photo of the screen with the panic?

Well if there's any way to setup such console without the need of a management card it'd be used to debug.

I sure can take the pic if the reboot process gives me enough time as it happens after the xen kernel loads and the vmlinuz part starts but goes extremely fast and it'd have to be very fast finger on the shooter.
 

What stage of the boot process does the panic happen at?

   J

Just after the xen kernel, the one with the ASCII XEN 4... goes by.

I'll add some lines Pasi told me and see what happens, though the "oops" is quite long. Is there any line that I should be specially aware of or take a note and post here?.

thanks for your kind and helpful responses.

Luck.
