Hello Ray,
sorry for the delay, I did a memtest and passed with no errors ... It's
a 16GB server so a memtest needs 5/6 hours to complete.
I would like to think this is a hardware issue, but I have another
server where I recently installed xen3.2.1 under debian4.0 and froze
once 7 days ago. The initial complaining server freezes every 2/3 days,
it had 13 paravirtual domU's but now has only two and had a freezing
episode yesterday.
Anyway ... I now this is hard to resolve ... I found on the web only
this thread matching the issue, so it's more likely to be a
hardware/driver problem than a xen problem. I don't like, though, that I
can't point where the problem is.
Thanks for your interest.
Regards,
Sergi
