And today, I would add the following:

Is there anyone reading this list who is successfully running Xen 3.0.x
on Debian Etch, in paravirtualization mode, without any random crashes
or data corruption?

I brought up Debian on my test box last night, and then installed Xen
from the default package (I think it was 3.0.3) -- and when I tried to
transfer a large file onto the Dom0, the copy of the file on the Dom0
was corrupted -- and then shortly afterwards, the Dom0 encountered file
system problems and switched the file system into read-only mode.  When
I repeated this experiment running straight Debian (not Xen), everything
worked perfectly.

As far as I'm aware, my hardware is OK -- no disk errors logged, and an
extended memory test (memtest86+) has not revealed any problems.  It
really looks to me like there's something wrong with Xen.  Any ideas?
