Re: [Xen-users] (Updated) Xen FC4 Dom0 stability under x86_64 architecture

[Koby Leung <job@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's starting to look like it's Xen...

  Continuing my testing story - I wasn't sure before that my issue didn't have
to do with faulty hardware, but last night I did more testing. 

I ran the memtest suite to test the RAM, no problems. 

Then I booted under a stock redhat kernel and setup a script to do continual
compiling of the kernel to try to stress out the CPU. It's been running without
a hitch since for almost 12 hours now. :p

I still haven't isolated my xen kernel. I did recompile one of the fedora
kernels to get DMA to work. So that might be the problem...

However, I did note that my install is called xen-unstable. So...anyone know
just how unstable it is? 

And anyone have any other suggestions for testing that would isolate other
components?
