Indeed mine too, I've been getting random lockups on all 3 of the
machines I've tested Xen on, with kernel 2.6.18 xensource, 2.6.21
gentoo and 2.6.25 suse, without sysrq I don't have any hope of
debugging the lockups at all and I will probably end up abandoning Xen
which will be a real shame, I really like the performance and features
and I really dont want to go back to vmware now.
