Yeah - my 2.6.17 paravirt kernels from FC5 will crash (and I didn't get
a stack trace when this happened, but I will next time!) and they'll
actually take the networking for all other xen's down with them.
xm shutdown will successfully shut the domU environment down but it'll
zombie the kernel instead of cleanly destroying the domain.
I have to reboot to recover. restarting xend doesn't do anything
(and I haven't checked the logs to see what it failed to do, save
being unable to destroy domains..)
Its a bit weird that a domU crashing can take out everything else.
I'd hate to find someone reliably replicating it and using it as a
DoS.. :/
