Bug#472584: Confirming linux-image-2.6.24-1-xen-686: Doesn't work as DomU

[Barry Tennison <barry@ukph.org>]

I can confirm Russell Coker's report of 25 Mar 2008 in almost exactly the same detail.

linux-image-2.6.24-1-xen-686 does not work as a domU (nor as a dom0) for me in a setup where 2.6.18-5-xen-686 works fine as a domU kernel (and is also the dom0 kernel).

The extra I can add is that 2.6.24-1-xen-686 fails for me as a domU kernel with
    xen-hypervisor-3.1-1-i386
as the hypervisor.  I haven't (yet) been able to make
    xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386
work as a hypervisor within a debian lenny setup.

This is on a k7 machine with 1G of ram, if that matters.

My xm info (for a working setup) says:
