Subject: 2.6.32-rc not booting with Xen-3.2 (bisected)

Hi,

I'm running a Xen-3.2 Dom0 (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.24) which is 
hosting several DomUs. One of them is a debian/unstable and I'm trying to 
run the latest -git version of Linus' tree. However, I wasn't able to test 
for a while and I noticed just now that I cannot boot 2.6.32-rc1 any more, 
2.6.31 (release) was booting fine. Unfortunately, "xm create sid.cfg -c" 
just says "Domain started", but then "xm list" just shows the DomU in "p" 
or in "b" state, and the console ("-c") isn't attached either, so I don't 
really know where the DomU stops (or panics). However, I was able to 
bisect it, I hope the bisection makes any sense:

-----------------------------------

Version numbers and more for both the domU and dom0 are on:
http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.32/dom0/dpkg-l.txt

Only the "Merge branch x86-platform-for-linus" pops out 
where a lot of x86 changes have been merged, but I have no
idea how to bisect within a "single" change.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Christian.
