I am still unable to bring up smp guests. 
FC4-domO, tyan 2462 SMP.

Same results with changeset:7135:7f732bba3ed4

changset 7048:c89485e939cc was my last spin where I was able to bring up
smp guests.


Nothing of use in logs.

If you want to try the new mercurial bisect extension, it will narrow down the 
exact offending changeset. Given the range you list above (7048 - 7135), it 
will take 7 build/boot cycles to pinpoint it.

Thanks a bunch, going to have to do that.

I was hopeful I was not the only one having such an issue :-(

With 8kb kernel stacks I am able to get smp guest on FC4 dom0 with
xen_changeset          : Fri Sep 30 12:37:52 2005 +0100 9d047fb99e38.

Guessing something to do with the irq changes between the two settings.
