actually I can't help - except sharing your experiences. We faced the situation on a rather old machine with XEN2 but didn't find any solution.

We've not tried Xen2, we went straight for the latest version.

We found some threads regarding USB issues - but as we have USB disbaled that was no solution for us. With xen3 and new hardware everything's fine.... so far ;-)

I'll have a look at the USB and see if it's disabled.

Bingo!

I added "nousb" option to the kernel:

/boot/grub/menu.1st
-------------------
title           Xen 3.0.0 - Linux 2.6.12.6-xen
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/xen-3.0.gz
module          /boot/xen-linux-2.6.12.6-xen root=/dev/md0 ro nousb
module          /boot/xen-modules-2.6.12.6-xen
savedefault
boot

Hasn't crashed since (fingers crossed).

Thanks,
