> Xen only detects one of two cores
I experience a similar problem on a Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro and
xen-unstable (3.2-rc2-pre from today). I use the following workaround:
Boot a standard 2.6.23 kernel (which is able to detect both cores)
without xen, then use kexec to boot xen with the 2.6.18-xen kernel.
Sadly I can't post a full `xm dmesg'. The kernel also fails to detect my
USB harddrive from which I'm booting (booting from USB *does* work when
I use the above workaround). But here's a screenshot of Xen's boot messages:

After the 2.6.23 + kexec trick, when everything is working fine, `xm
dmesg' looks like this (I have to use noapic, otherwise it won't boot at
all):
