[Xen-users] Report of "soft lockup" for a domU when paused and unpaused

["john maclean" <jayeola@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a message from within the domU "etch_play", based on Debian
Etch. I have a number of foo_play templates that I experiment with.

It is a file-based image filled with packages using Debian's
debootstrap. The domU was idling away not doing anything at all and I
ran `xm pause <domu id>` and unpaused it after five minutes or so. I'd
love to learn *myself* how to trace/debug this error but in the
meantime can any one tell me if this unusual or serious? Let me know
if there's any more info required as I'd rather not flood this list
with over enthusiastic data.
