Re: [Xen-devel] some questions about vcpu?

[George Dunlap <George.Dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do you have a serial console set up?  That's step number 1 in dealing
with Xen hangs.

Step 2 is adding "watchdog" to the command line, so if Xen hangs for
more than a few seconds, you get a stack trace of where each cpu is
waiting.
