 i want to run the xen-hypervisor inside a KVM machine.
 hypervisor is booting - blanks screen and stops before loading dom0.

In general I think one would consider this sort of issue to be a problem
with the containing VMM (i.e. KVM in this case) in the first instance. 

 it may sound strange to run a VM inside a VM, but i need this for testing.
 the virtualized domUs should be run paravirtualized.

 i'll agree with you, but last week booting the _lenny_ xen dom0 kernel 
 (2.6.26-2-xen-686 - 2.6.26-21lenny3)  booted until it ran into another 
 issue.

So it sounds like a change to the kernel has caused this issue to arise?
The hypervisor remained the same?

Either way I think you reported this bug against the wrong package.

Ian.

however, it's also possible to treat each VMM as an architecture ;-)

no. testing kernel never worked. stable kernel with testing hypervisor 
stopped working.

no, i retested because the hypervisor in testing was upgraded.
