script output of serial console from Xen boot
Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-02-08 20:57:45 UTC 
maxcpus=1 will work around.
Comment 3 Rik van Riel 2006-02-09 01:24:24 UTC 
I created and verified a patch for this bug, and also posted it upstream (since
it could affect other architectures with CPU hotplug too):

Comment 4 Rik van Riel 2006-02-09 01:34:17 UTC 
Juan, I just committed the fix for the bug to our CVS tree.
Comment 5 Ask Bjørn Hansen 2006-02-10 01:42:59 UTC 
Rik,

Was that fix in kernel-xen-hypervisor-2.6.15-1.51_FC5 ?  (I don't have a serial console on my test 
machine but it appears to be doing the same thing).
