RE: kernel BUG at arch/xen/i386/mm/hypervisor.c:354, (xen_create _contiguous_region)!

[Ian Pratt]

This is believed fixed, at least in the staging tree.
It was introduced as a result of the change to avoid the alignment problem introduced by setting CONFIG_DEBUG_SLABALLOC=y in Fedora kernels.

Pretty much all the bugs that have been filed today are different incarnations of this issue.

It's quite interesting in that it's the first example of a regression that survived the mini-XenRT test run but blew up badly on the long overnight run. It was probably fixed before anyone in the US woke up, but there was a backlog in the staging tree...

[see the xenrt web page for the full horror of last nights run!]
