[Pkg-xen-devel] Boot failure with squeeze 4.0 hypervisor, fixed with later 4.0-testing

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

I have a machine that was previously running the lenny-packaged
hypervisor. I upgraded it to squeeze recently and it failed to
complete a boot of the dom0 kernel.

I reported this on xen-devel¹ and was advised to try building a
hypervisor from the tip of 4.0-testing. I did this and this seems to
work for me.

I'm guessing that since wheezy will be released soon there is little
interest in working out why exactly the Debian-packed 4.0 hypervisor
for squeeze does not work on this hardware?

If there would be some value in this, then I'm in a position at the
moment to help do that.

Cheers,
Andy
