[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#393953: xen-3.0: DomU sometimes crashes while booting

[develop at jjkiers.nl]

Package: xen-3.0
Severity: important

While booting the DomU, it sometimes crashes, especially if the
vif-device is not up yet. I managed to get the console output (xm
console test), which I'll attach to this bug report. It seems it is some
kernel bug, but I'm not sure.

If you need more information, please tell me how to get it, and I will
try to post it.
