I can certainly give the 2.6.7 guest another try. I did have it 
booting, but I didn't persist with it long enough to tell if there was 
fs corruption -- there seemed to be issues loading modules, and when I 
compiled everything in, I got a gpf when racoon tried to use a PF_KEY 
socket. I'll try and get some useful dumps for both these problems.

All seems well with that fix, with domain 0 using LVs, and exporting 
them to other domains. I'll give the machine some load and see what 
happens.

That module line gives the same symptoms. I do have a getty on ttyS0, 
and I see the login banner from it, but can't log in.
Actually I do have problems with Linux 2.6.6 on the same system. Once 
the kernel initialises the serial driver, the port settings appear to 
change -- I get the symptoms of incorrect baud rate. When userspace 
starts, it seems to switch back (although I have to reset my terminal). 
The hardware is a Dell 1650, with console redirection on, but 
redirection after boot disabled.
Domain 0 runs debian testing -- would I need to disable the calls to 
setserial in the initscripts, or should they just fail safely?
Cheers,
Chris.
