blew away. I may have redone an install from the dist dir as well. This
was a few months back, somewhere around changeset 7500 or so before 3.0
release. Worst case you can wipe all the xen stuff and just reinstall,
probably want to be running a non xen kernel when doing this though :-)
Do back up your domU configs though.

I would make sure you did not induce something first, I only got here
after a hard system crash and check the archives against the errors in
your log files.

If you rebuilt without hotplug support in your dom0 kernel the log entry
is crystal clear.
