Re: [Xen-users] Another GPLPV update

[Age_M <Age_M@xxxxxx>]

Hi James,

I just updated from 0.9.11-pre10 to 0.9.11-pre11 and sadly this makes my 
German Windows XP Prof SP3 unbootable :-/
I see the  Windows XP logo on black background with the blue progressbar 
which suddenly stops and both vcpu take 100%. Even after several minutes 
nothing changes, I don't even see a BSOD?
This leaves me with destroying domU and boot without /gplpv.

Any idea what could cause this? But more important, any idea how to 
debug this? Tell me how I can provide you with more detailed info.
