Try booting xen with 'nosmp' (and maybe 'noapic') on the 'kernel

now, I'm running a Debian dom0 and a NetBSD3.1-rc2 domU. Of course, the xen
and the hardware is dual cpu; I put nosmp in the root= line on the domU
config file. It seems to work, a nosmp NetBSD domu with a SMP debian dom0.
I'd be interested in the details of how the smp/nosmp nature of the xen
kernel and the dom0 effect the domU, if anyone has information or links.
