I've had this problem in the past and do not have a solution at the
moment. I'm currently running SLES10SP1, not sure if sles10SP2 is a
solution. Anyway...

I had a couple sles10sp2 tst domU's running. The person using them
needed them to be sles10sp1. Since I'm running low on available RAM, I
needed to remove the sp2 test machines to create the sp1's. 

So I delete the sp1's, then restart virt-manager to make sure the memory
is available (another bug in my version I believe).

I copy my image file and use virt-manager to create the new domU. 

When I start the domU it crashes one of my other domU's. 

Then if I try to restart the crashed one, in this case it blue screens.
I've also had it where I start one, and I get the console of another.
Not sure where that conflict is at, but it doesn't appear to be the
IDs. 

The first "xm list" is when I first created sles10sp1-tst1. Notice the
ID's:

The next "xm list" is after sles10sp1-tst1 is started. Notice that vre06 is now 
off and ID has gone away.

This last "xm list" is when I tried restarting vre06 and where it blue screens.

Anyone ever seen this before? When I get my next xen server I'm going
to install SP2, but until then these situations really hose things. 

Any ideas are appreciated. 

James
