What is the BSoD code?

You mention 0.9 in another email... was that just something you tried
for testing?

If you use the debug version of the drivers it should log lots of stuff
to /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-<domu name>.log. If you can give me the BSoD
code (a screenshot would be fine) and a copy of that log I can have a
look at it.

I don't have any hardware capable of running 32 VM's so I can't test it
unfortunately.
