[Xen-users] CentOS domU hangs from time to time

[Nathan Eisenberg <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a CentOS DomU that is hanging every 24-120 hours.  There's nothing in 
the logs that would indicate why.  The xm console for the DomU becomes 
nonresponsive, the DomU status goes to 'b', and an xm destroy/xm create is 
required to bring it back to life.
