This e-mail started out as a problem report with LSI storage (mptsas) on modern Xen kernels, but it was one of those where as you explain the problem you finally get it. So, a public service announcement for the archives instead. The moral of the story was that ACPI and APCI APIC needed to be turned _on_ in my BIOS (new ASUS AMD board) and I had acpi=off on my linux 'module' line from days long past, which needed to go. It looks like Xen can handle ACPI properly now and relies on it. Hurray. With any other combination of settings, I'd see errors like: mptbase: ioc0: ERROR - didn't initialize properly!
