Summary: Dom0 won't boot with vmlinux.strip ("XSI != alloc_down()") Product: Xen Version: unstable Platform: PPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Hypervisor AssignedTo: xen-...@lists.xensource.com ReportedBy: holl...@us.ibm.com

Hardware: JS21 with 6GB RAM Images: built-in vmlinux.strip and built-in initrd Symptom: "XSI != alloc_down()" early in dom0 boot.

The immediate problem is that 'alloc_bottom' in prom_init.c has a bad value (with a leading 0x4 at the top). Not sure how that's happening, since it is calculated from '_end'.

Workaround: boot a zImage.
