Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-10
Severity: normal
This problem concerns the Xen 2.6.32 kernel not booting when running Xen with
dom0_mem set to less than 335000 (330000 fails). After the Xen kernel loads
it
doesn't appear to even start executing Linux kernel code, it just blanks the
screen and resets the system.
I am running a Xen server on a HP desktop Celeron 2.4GHz system. The problem
I have concerns two almost identical systems (I obtained another system of the
same model and gave it similar disks etc to reproduce the bug), so it's not
just a flakey system (the probability of two dodgey systems failing in the
same
way is low) although I do concede the possibility of a design flaw in an
entire
series of HP systems.

The above section of my GRUB configuration concerns options for 2.6.32 and
2.6.26 kernels, 2.6.26 works well but 2.6.32 fails.
