If you add "noreboot" you need to power-cycle by hand.

My bad. After adding 'noreboot' I could see that it couldn't mount the
initrd... I'd forgotten to add 'CRAMFS' in my config so the kernel
panicked. The annoying thing was that it hung on reboot.

Has xen changed the way it does a reboot between 2.0.6 and 3.0? This
machine has been able to do a reboot in the past.

I've been bitten by this sort of error before (ie a kernel panic caused
by something I've done wrong but I've missed it because xen rebooted),
could we add in a delay (5 seconds would do, or maybe a boot option)
before xen reboots?

Thanks

James
