Spooky...  Best get the zombie survival kit ready just in case they awaken 
other domains you've destroyed to consume the kernels of the living :-O

Out of interest, did you compile the guest kernel with SMP support?  Another 
user was reporting that the boot process hung if he compiled without SMP...

Worth noting, I guess, that if the domain had panicked not finding the root 
filesystem (but not succeeded in outputting to the console) then you'd see it 
eating CPU like this (mine does).

Cheers,
Mark
