Wow... I just (a week or so back) migrated a server from Debian Lenny on 
bare iron to Lenny on Xen.  I'm seeing a similar problem - about once a 
day the physical machine crashes and reboots, with nothing in the log to 
give any indication why.
I'm in the process of identifying and installing tools for capturing 
pre-crash activity - any suggestions would be welcome.
