[Xen-devel] Daily Xen Builds

[David F Barrera <dfbp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Defect summary:

I have been reporting since July 11 that DomU crashes on a couple of my
machines upon creation, on setups where DomU is based on a SLES 9
installation. I am still experiencing this problem. Defect #96 in the
Xensource bugzilla system has been created to document this problem.

I sent this note out on July 13:
