Hi Xiantao,
The vcpu time on my domU was not increasing. The watchdog oops in
the domU when kicking it with xenctx also indicates that domU was
getting no time. FWIW, I saw this on a zx6000, madison system (2-way
box). I was booting a UP dom0 w/ 2GB of memory, and a UP domU w/ 1GB of
memory. DomU is configured with 1 vnif, and only booted to single user
mode. I usually saw the domU hang within about 5 reboots.

Nobody tests the -xenU kernel on a regular basis anymore. I
typically only test the -xen kernel.

I agree, and I can't explain why such a seemingly simple change
triggered this problem. Thanks,
Alex
