[xenpreview-dev] keymap failure and respawning too fastmessages

[Krysan, Susan]

Since I created a paravirtualized vm using SLES SP1 Xen, it created a
SLES SP1 VM.  To double-check, I did cat /etc/issue in the vm which
shows:
Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 (x86_64) - Kernel \r
(\l).
and SPident shows:
CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date!
  found    SLE-10-x86_64-SP1

So it looks like the problems are not fixed in SP1.

Thanks,

All a good idea, but to be clear, these updates in the host/dom0 won't
affect or prevent the messages below.

What version did you install as the guest?  SLES 10 GA?  SLES 10 SP1?

The messages below suggest to me that the VM was installed from SLES 10
GA or maybe even older.  I thought all such problems were fixed before
SLES 10 GA shipped, but I would have to double-check to be sure.  They
certainly should be fixed when installing SP1 as a guest.
