Unable to boot a Xen guest kernel

To follow up, I wasted Avi's time.

The "Error (22, Invalid argument)" was caused by an attempt to boot a PAE
enabled guest. Without PAE, xend loads and runs the domain, which promptly
crashes.

So I downloaded the actual Beehive-built binary for 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5xenU
and it doesn't boot either. The guest crashes in cpu_gdt_init, same place
where my own build does. It simply is a duff kernel and there was nothing
wrong with my build procedure. The last working kernel that I know is
2.6.15-1.1955_FC5guest. I'm going to bisect this and find out the problem,
or file a bug for DaveJ to look.

Greetings,
