Hi,

So we use Xen in Skynet (UL Comp Soc).
We recently dist-upgraded dom0 and domU's to Debian Lenny.
We're running 2.6.26-2-xen-686 with xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 all from 
apt.

We've experienced the same (1 year old) bug as outlined in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524571#49

The workaround of setting dom0-cpu 1 (forcing dom0 to a single cpu) works 
and dom0 doesn't crash daily :)

This workaround then brings in another problem where domU's cannot be 
shutdown/rebooted by dom0 and shows a ---s-- state which according to man:
"s - shutdown
FIXME: Why would you ever see this state?"


Anyone have any similar experiences?

Rgds,
Steve Burke
