Hello,
    Don't have a solution here, but I have seen the same problem on
one of my DomUs. Maybe if we compare our setups we'd find the cause.
    1. Does your DomU run OpenSuSE (11.4)?
    2. Is your DomU PV or HVM?
    3. If HVM, are you running PV on HVM drivers?
    4. Are you using LVM for your VM images?
    5. Are you using LVM in your VM?
    6. Have you tried using a separate distribution?
    7. Have you tried creating another DomU to see if it exhibits the
same problem?
    8. Have you tried a different Dom0 kernel/xen?
    Basically I remember this problem came up with one of my
xen/Dom0/DomU combinations, but didn't have the chance to find out the
root cause before moving on to another combination.

Liwei
