Hi,

I have found a bug with xl in Xen 4.2-unstable changeset 25070.

When I try to start Linux paravirtualized guests in Xen 4.2-unstable, 
they CANNOT start at all and exit IMMEDIATELY.
When I switched to Xen 4.1.3-rc1-pre, Linux PV guests start 
successfully, albeit with a change to the disk parameter in the xl 
configuration file.
I have managed to install Fedora 16 amd64 in Xen 4.1.3-rc1-pre with xl, 
although the pxeboot installation takes a VERY LONG TIME, lasting 
numerous hours.
This is a bug with xl in Xen 4.2-unstable.

Please help to copy to xen-devel.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
