I recall 3.2.1 to be extremely stable, and I have yet to see a software issue under Xen where it did not produce a kernel "oops".  Did you actually run memtest86 in accordance with my recommendations, or some other method?

Hello,

any news on this issue? ... I am experiencing this very same freezing
issue with this software installed:

ii libxenstore3.0 3.2.1-2 Xenstore communications library for Xen
ii linux-image-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-22etch2 Linux 2.6.18
image on AMD64
ii linux-modules-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 2.6.18.dfsg.1-22etch2 Linux 2.6.18
modules on AMD64
ii xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 3.2.1-2 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64
ii xen-tools 3.9-3 Tools to manage Debian XEN virtual servers
ii xen-utils-3.2-1 3.2.1-2 XEN administrative tools
ii xen-utils-common 3.2.0-2 XEN administrative tools - common files
ii xenstore-utils 3.2.1-2 Xenstore utilities for Xen

Freezing episodes happen every day or so. KVM access is dead, no
messages on console, no keyboard access ... hardware is tested ok.


Thanks,
regards,
Sergi
