Xen dying on boot of dom0


RESOLVED: see
http://www.nabble.com/Dom0-dies-on-f...tf2212367.html

Hey, I've been trying to get Xen 3 up and running on a Debian Sid machine for the past several days. The exact procedure im following is as follows.

1. Install debian
2. Upgrade to Sid
3. Follow the instructions here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396

Step 3 is basically an apt-get of the xen hypervisor, xen utils and linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686. After this I edi my menu.lst, xend-config.sxp (to select (network-script network-bridge) and (vif-script vif-bridge)) and reboot to get the following

Yes, that screen shot is from xen running in parallels on the mac but let me explain before you call me crazy. That is the EXACT same error I get if i try to install it on my regular box so i installed it in parallels following the same steps so i could provide a screen shot. (The other box is actually an AMD so i used the k7 kernel image on that)

Anyways, anyone have any ideas? Its not exactly a complex process so either im messing up something small or im missing a step.

Thanks,
NNP
