This sounds a bit like the issue fixed by http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=39ba2989b10b6a1852e253b204eb010f8e7026f1 Are you able to run a new Xen (either 4.5.1~rc1-1 from experimental or an upstream version would do) to confirm? (I've also asked for that commit to be backported upstream, since it is certainly a fix for something even if not this issue) Thanks, Ian. > > The boot does however continue normally including all expected console > output from the guest.
