Vincent,

I understand. My report did suggest that the problem was fixed; however,
it was incorrect, as I later found out. It turns out that the DomU that
I had created did not have networking setup properly, thus the VM seemed
functional. When I corrected the networking setup and started a DomU,
Dom0 crashed. By the way, I just did it today, and the same thing is
happening--Dom0 is crashing. This is the trace that I see on the serial
console:
