   The attached boot log appears to just be the fedora core 5 kernel on
bare metal, so it doesn't really help to debug the dom0 boot problem.
Since you mention you're on an rx5670, you might want to try the
attached patch.  There's a firmware "feature" having to do w/
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH on these systems that's been fixed in upstream Linux.
The attached patch ports the same check into Xen to avoid the SAL call
and instead use PAL directly for flushing the cache.  Try it and let me
know if it helps.  Thanks,

        Alex
