Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

When starting Xen 3.0.4 domains (both dom0 and domU) on Edgy I see the
following warning:

 ***************************************************************
 ***************************************************************
 ** WARNING: Currently emulating unsupported memory accesses  **
 **          in /lib/tls glibc libraries. The emulation is    **
 **          slow. To ensure full performance you should      **
 **          install a 'xen-friendly' (nosegneg) version of   **
 **          the library, or disable tls support by executing **
 **          the following as root:                           **
 **          mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled                    **

I installed libc6-xen to get rid of this (it should provide the nosegneg
stuff) but it didn't work. I then executed the described command but
that too didn't fix the problem. Ilooked a bit deeper into what's
causing this and it seems to be a problem with the initrd: if I boot a
domU system without the initrd it will naturalyl not be able to use
features like ext3 filesystem but the warning is gone.

I don't really know what the cause is but it seems to be something with
the libc that is used in the ramdisk. Can someone tell me more and
perhaps have an Idea how to fix this?
