Bug#621072: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: 2.6.32-33 failes to boot as PV domU on Xen
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-33
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I'm currently investigation why my Debian squeeze systems don't live migrate on
an XenSever pool. By chance I stumbled upon the (as it seems to me) soon to be
released 2.6.32-33 kernel version and as my live migration issues are kernel
related I decided to try that kernel.
But this kernel doesn't boot as a PV domU neither on my Citrix XenServer 5.6 FP1
nor on a Debian system with Xen 3.4.3 at all. It doesn't even get so far as to
provide a hvc console but crashes with a page fault on domain creation:

Apart from addresses this is the same with domU kernel 2.6.32-32 and 2.6.32-33
as well as with either the hypervisor from XenServer or vanilla Xen.
The current release 2.6.32-31 does boot without problems.
System Information below is from a Debian lenny, where I tested this kernel
(I don't have any other VM to hand for quick testing currently) but as this
is a kernel problem this shouldn't matter.

Florian Wagner
