    Xen dom0 crashes on first reboot (Debian Sid)

    Hey, I've been trying to get Xen 3 up and running on a Debian Sid machine for the past several days. The exact procedure im following is as follows.

    1. Install debian
    2. Upgrade to Sid
    3. Follow the instructions here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396

    Step 3 is basically an apt-get of the xen hypervisor, xen utils and linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686. After this I edi my menu.lst, xend-config.sxp (to select (network-script network-bridge) and (vif-script vif-bridge)) and reboot to get the following

    http://silenthack.co.uk/nnp/screen.jpg

    Yes, that screen shot is from xen running in parallels on the mac but let me explain before you call me crazy. That is the EXACT same error I get if i try to install it on my regular box so i installed it in parallels following the same steps so i could provide a screen shot. (The other box is actually an AMD so i used the k7 kernel image on that)

    Anyways, anyone have any ideas? Its not exactly a complex process so either im messing up something small or im missing a step. Neverhad this trouble with xen 2 so im not sure whats going on

    Thanks,
    NNP

    I am having the same problem on sid. After I reboot xen loads and then before it transfers control to the dom0 kernel it just reboots. No error messages or anything. I'm trying to install Xen on CentOS now, I gave up on Debian for Xen. Please post if you get it working though.
