[Xen-users] some domUs work, some dont..??

Hello everybody!

I have the following problem (only _sometimes_) when i create a domU and
start it:

 <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

I create those images with the xen-tools and extract them from a .tar
file (different distributions -> sarge, ubuntu). The silly thing is that
this problem comes only sometimes. Most of the times the domUs work
without any problems...Can anybody tell me if this might be a kernel,
xen-tools or xend problem or even how to solve it?

I use xen-tools 3.8; Dom0 hostsystem: Debian etch; Kernel:
vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-xen-686; Xen 3.1 (3.1.0-2). System has enough power and
4gb ram...(use pae-kernel)

regards
Alexandros
