A shit hole in xen-sources-2.6.29

It's a record for myself to memo.

In 2.6.29-r4, there is a different in net device 'Intel Corporation 82573V Gigabit Ethernet', which is used to stand by driver 'e1000', but right now it has changed to 'e1000e'. Moreover, it works and treats net device up, although crush down by "RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory".

After that, I've tried all day for finger out this issue, nevertheless, it doesn't meliorate. Well, I'm done and through buy it. In quick step is choose next version of kernel which is beta version, and then everything seems fine and no strange error msg.

There is one more tricky problem while compiling domU in beta kernel, which is specific option for CPU, which must enable "CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU" to keep proceeding.
