[Xen-users] Upgrade Problem - Update

[David Brain <dbrain@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After some more looking around,  I think I did find the cause 
(presumably the 'xen_blk: can't get major 8 with name sd' and subsequent 
oops is bad)- I'm still at a loss to explain why - this was using the 
same kernel version and config, that was originally working (with new 
xen patch, make clean & recompile).
Relevant section of boot log below:

Registering block device major 8
register_blkdev: cannot get major 8 for sd
xen_blk: can't get major 8 with name sd
