Some further info on this, It appears the HVM domU (windows server 2008)
unexpectedly shut down at 18:51, after the unstable clocksource error.
qemu-dm logs show a reset "reset requested in cpu_handle_ioreq." and
xend.log shows a reboot
[2010-10-02 18:51:03 1759] INFO (XendDomainInfo:2088) Domain has shutdown:
name=ha-dc1 id=2 reason=reboot.
This is like someone issuing "xm reboot domain" is it not? Is it
possible that xen could have issued this reboot itself due to a crash? I
can't see any crash logs.
