Weirdly its with a fresh debootstrap'ed Debian etch (so not "old") Linux install under FC6; etch under FC5 with an older FC5 2.6.18 kernel doesn't trigger the nash CPU loop. I'm running the Debian etch domU with the FC6 Xen kernel (and am putting the modules into the domU manually so things like xennet and iptables work for me) with the 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6xen kernel and a rebuild mkinitrd (ie, with xenblk.) I'd be interested in finding out more about what its actually doing if only to understand things a little more.
