For me, the problems started with 4.7.0. Prior to that, the domUs were
booting fine. So I can confirm that 4.6.x was not affected.

I reported the error for 4.7.0, and I thought that Juergen might have suggested it for inclusion. I upgraded to 4.7.1 just a few days ago, so I thought I should point out that this patch was missed. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
