Okay, and once we "lost" xend, there is no way to do anything ? (create, destroy, shutdown, get a console...)
You could try removing xend's database in /var/xen/xend-db -- you will
lose your domain's names but I've found that sometimes this allows
restarting xend when it's in the state where it doesn't want to start
anymore.
Interesting ! I did that, and then :

# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0 0 59 0 r---- 5915.7 Domain-16 16 63 0 -b--- 328.7 Domain-17 17 127 0 -b--- 699.8 Domain-21 21 0 0 ----c 0.0 Domain-22 22 0 0 ----c 0.0 I could successfully create a new domain attached to a console, and stop it ; but other stuff didn't work :

# xm console 16
Error: No console information

And xm shutdown didn't do anything, it seems. Destroying crashed domains didn't work either. It keeps spitting those messages every couple of seconds in xend.log :

[2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] DEBUG (XendDomain:244) XendDomain>reap> domain died name=Domain-21 id=21 [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] INFO (XendDomain:564) Destroying domain: name=Domain-21 [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] DEBUG (XendDomain:244) XendDomain>reap> domain died name=Domain-22 id=22 [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] INFO (XendDomain:564) Destroying domain: name=Domain-22 [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] INFO (XendRoot:91) EVENT> xend.domain.exit ['Domain-21', '21', 'crash'] [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] INFO (XendRoot:91) EVENT> xend.domain.destroy ['Domain-21', '21'] [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] INFO (XendRoot:91) EVENT> xend.domain.exit ['Domain-22', '22', 'crash'] [2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] INFO (XendRoot:91) EVENT> xend.domain.destroy ['Domain-22', '22']

xend-debug.log and xm dmesg are silent.

Anything useful I can try to get more information about this before I reboot the beast ? :-)
