osstest: blessed sabro boxes

[Roger Pau Monné]

Hello,

I've blessed the pair of sabro boxes for production after a successful
commission flight:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/169857/

Note that the boxes don't seem to be able to boot in 32bit mode, see
the following flight where all 32bit jobs failed to install the host:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/169986/

I have no idea what's causing this, and hence sabros will only be used
in 64bit mode.  FWIW, those boxes where already not marked as suitable
for 32bit installs, I had to add the arch-i386 flag myself in order to
test (which I've now removed again before blessing).

Roger.

You may have better luck with a PAE kernel (which would then also be
able to use all of the memory rather than just about 1.7 Gb):

Notice: NX (Execute Disable) protection cannot be enabled: non-PAE kernel!

I'm not sure it's worth it, we have plenty of boxes that can do i386
just fine, so I think it's fine to have those as amd64 only.

Thanks, Roger.
