this is bad. It's a warning but it should not be happening. It means the 
vga bios checksum was wrong. Do you get this if you boot without xen, i.e. 
standard linux?

I forget where this EE comes from, but:

As I read this, the module loader tried to run the vga bios and failed, as 
it could not get to the actual BIOS code? That's how it looks to me 
anyway. 

I have no idea: has anyone seen option rom access working under Xen? I 
have not, but I have not tried this recently. The VGA bios ROM is not 
accessible on my laptop, however. 

Does Xen currently allow a guest to set enable the option rom access and 
set the register (0x30 I think) for the option ram base address?

So you get this error, and ...

it unloads the modules since it can't run the vga bios.
