[xen-tools-discuss] using Xen tools on Debian squeeze, but not working now

[Brian E. Lavender]

I believe is the culprit. Yes, I am running stretch. I have been banging
my head on the wall on this all day! It looks like it causes problems
with the guest and the hypervisor! My hypervisor on a default install has
4.9.0-6-amd64 and when I upgraded to 4.9.0-7-amd64 on another install,
it boot looped. I am trying to get my guest to use the version 6 but I
think it is crashing because of the same issue. I am putting this box
together, so I have just wiped things clean retracing my steps.
