I'm testing 32bit PAE dom0 on 32bit PAE hypervisor. 

Today, with 2.6.29-rc5, I managed to boot my dom0 into login prompt! 
I haven't been able to get this working earlier.. congratulations!

I had to use 'noapic' dom0 kernel parameter though.. without 'noapic' I'm seeing
the same IRQ problems with ata_piix than earlier.


My dom0 kernel config:

My grub.conf:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/grub.conf

Working dom0 bootlog with 'noapic':

Failing dom0 bootlog (without 'noapic'):
