Ok. I've seen many people report crashes during startup with rebase/master
on 32b PAE. I assume they're seeing this same issue.

[root@dom0test linux-2.6-xen]# grep -i CONFIG_FRAMEPOINTER .config
[root@dom0test linux-2.6-xen]# grep -i CONFIG_DEBUGINFO .config
[root@dom0test linux-2.6-xen]# 

Unfortunately those were not enabled.. I'll build a new kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUGINFO enabled.
