Bug#515587: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686: Dom0 and DomU kernel stops with kernel panic inside VMware Workstation

[Dieter Scholz <rd-disc@gmx.net>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: important

I'm currently testing the Xen features of the new 2.6.26 kernel. I do this usingVMware workstation.

I tested two scenarios:

* running 2.6.26 as a Dom0 kernel
* running 2.6.26 as a DomU kernel (using the Etch Xen kernel installed in a Lenny system)

In both scenarios after booting into the new Xen kernel the virtual maschine reboots after a kernel panic.

I've tested the new kernel on an old and real PC and Dom0 support works as expected.

Greetings, Dieter
