This absolutely fixes my issue. With the latest patch, I can boot my
system successfully if NX is enabled or disabled in the BIOS.
Just a final note, I do need to make sure VT-d is disabled in the
BIOS, and then I can boot. This was obviously not addressed in this
patch nor was it requested to be. It would be nice to have it working
at some point as this machine will hopefully have a bunch of NVidia
cards in it that will need to be dedicated to each of the domU's for
CUDA research.
Thank you all for your prompt and courteous responses. It makes me
proud to be a RHCE when I get support from a community of developers
like you guys.

I forgot to mention I'm using the latest kernel from M. Young,
2.6.31-1.2.65.xendom0.fc12.x86_64. Here's what I get now that
I've
done all of what you've said:
Ok. I've CCd Jeremy and xen-devel.
Does this crash look familiar to you Jeremy?
Does this fix it?

Subject: [PATCH] xen: check EFER for NX before setting up GDT
mapping
kernel-2.6.31-1.2.67.xendom0.fc12.x86_64.rpm has this fix in if you
want
to test it, at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1681664&name=kernel-2.6.31-1.2.67.xendom0.fc12.x86_64.rpm
(the other kernel packages are available via
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1681662
) I haven't tested it so I don't know if it boots.
Charles: Please try this updated kernel and let us know if it works
for
you.
Thanks!
