But this shows 4.7.0-1. Maybe you didn't install Xen properly? Please
make sure all residuals from previous releases are gone.

Also please start a new thread when reporting issues. We have a template
for that in 

https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.8_RC_test_instructions

that is the live kernel 
Linux xen 4.7.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.7.5-1 (2016-09-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux


I have to boot a stable xen version to use my machine again which is 4.6

I only use one machine - that's why i use Virtualization....

I start every major app with its own ded VM and have Xorg on the host and redirect ssh from the VM

Oh, right. Sorry I missed that.

Then there is probably a version mismatch between your tools and
hypervisor.

You can boot into the new hypervsior, use LD_PRELOAD and / or LD_PATH to
specify the new libraries and invoke the new xl via absolute path.

  LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libraries /path/to/xl

But if you haven't tried this before, the easiest thing to do is to
uninstall 4.6 and install 4.8. But I understand that might not be
feasible for you.
