By fairly soon, I in fact mean 'now' :-) kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 has just hit updates-testing which has the following fixes, so go forth & test... * Tue May 15 2007 Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@xxxxxxxxxx> 1.2950 - Xen kernel: added patch to initialize pda properly on smp_prepare_cpus() * Mon May 14 2007 Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@xxxxxxxxxx> - Xen kernel: added patch from Stephen C. Tweedie. Fix crashes and hangs, by making critical_fixup_table correct.
