Having the same issue with the EL5 RPM as well. Latest 2.6.18 on
xen.org seems to be a little broken. The LSI controller isn't getting
detected after the megaraid_sas module loads. The initrds look
identical between the two, so I'm assuming there is some obscure bug
that was fixed and backported into the EL5 kernel but not Jeremy's. I
suppose I can try a newer pvops kernel if you think that might be
relevant.

Seems to be fairly consistently crashing regardless of Xen version,
though. Also interestingly it seems it may be more about the VMs
starting at once htan the specific number of VMs..
