Seems to be the same problem, I had posted before ("crashing with second
guest.")

Would like to know, if it's the same hardware- arrangement (AMD K7 CPU)
and/or kernel (2.6.17-xen-k7).

I removed Xen and reinstalled by also changing the kernel to
2.6.18-xen-k7, and now problems seem to be solved.

But also don't found any logentry on this crashing-behaviour.
