Upon further analysis of the Xen dmesg (above link http://pastebin.com/qqXNd0sk) I think the problem started here too: [ 3.483814] Magic number: 12:857:419 [ 3.511898] rtc_cmos 00:05: setting system clock to 2012-05-10 07:25:05 UTC ) [ 3.520300] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor ) [ 3.530752] powernow-k8: Core Performance Boosting: on.

are u sure? the glibc invalid opcode error arises out of Intel AVX instructions, but mine is AMD. I am not sure.
ok, I am now reading comment #50 of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801650 have downloaded the xva and img files, but was not sure how can i apply these downloads? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 801650 ***
Pls try out the RPMs menioned in the other bug. You also need to run dracut -f after the RPM install to recreate initrd. If it doesn't work it might be that this is needed: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/104512210/fma4-depends-avx.diff to work on AMD machines. I was hoping I could reproduce it on my boxes but I seem to lack Bulldozer type CPUs.
