Built Xen with x86 PAE mode 'on'. Some issues have arisen relating to
that.

                summary:     merge?
      * x86
              * SLES 9 SP2, FC3 and RHEL 4 on IBM xSeries 305s, 235, and
                ThinkCentre
              * Builds and boots Dom0 without problems
              * ISSUES:
                      * Dom0 WILL NOT BOOT on SLES 9 boxes built with
                        PAE mode 'ON';
                              * However, Dom0 boots up fine on RHEL 4
                                machine AND on x86_64 boxes with SLES 9
                                and RHEL 4 distros
                              * Bugzilla #122-  'CRITICAL'
                      * DomU crashes - can't verify this problem because
                        of the problem described above;
                              * however, the machine where Dom0 is based
                                on RHEL 4 and DomU is based on SLES 9
                                that was previously exhibiting the DomU
                                crash problem seems to be working fine
                                today.  I need to investigate whether
                                compiling without the PAE option would
                                make it revert to the DomU crash.
                                Oops:   0002 [#1]
                                PREEMPT SMP modules linked in:

                                Seeing this on test boxes where DomU is

                                On a test box where Dom0 is SLES 9 and
                                DomU is RHEL 4, however, no problems are
                                observed

                                an x86_64 box, though it has happened on
                                both architectures previously
