2.6.12-xenU hangs at boot
I'm using the latest unstable source. Dom0 comes up fine. But when I
create a new domain with kernel 2.6.12-xenU, it hangs at boot. I see the
following debugging messages:

do_xenbus_probe> connect backends...

XENBUS xs_read_watch: 0

Does the last line (err = -2) indicate some problem? After these messages,
the kernel goes forward, but finally freezes before it tries to fsck the
disks and add swap.

My machine is a P3 SMP and I use loopback files as hard disks for domU.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

Thanks!
