To clarify:
- libc6-xen was already installed. In its initial state, I was
getting error messages and slow performance.
- Changed hwcap from 1 to 0, restarted machine, error messages are
now gone.
This is also the recommended course of action on the Debian wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/Xen#A4gbsegfixuperrors
Can you please explain why this is broken? Is there some other reason
why I am getting error messages?
Kind regards,
Samuel
