Hi.  I seem to be in the process of taking over the Xen packages in
Debian.  I'm looking at some of these bugs to see if some of them can
be fixed or whatever.

Thanks for the boot logs.  I think the problem is that the Linux
kernel there is not detecting the VIA sata and pata controllers.  It
seems strange to me because I would have expected many people to have
such controllers.

In any case this is probably a kernel bug rather than a Xen bug.  And
the kernel 4.3 is no longer in Debian AFAICT.  Is the bug still
happening with recent kernels ?  If so then perhaps we should reassign
the bug to an appropriate linux kernel package.

Thanks,
Ian.
