[Xen-users] Problem with debian lenny domu.

[John McMonagle <johnm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have a problem with kernel errors on a debian lenny xen system.

Both Dom0 and domu have 2.6.26-2-xen-686 kernel

it's a Dell Poweredge 1600sc.

Dom0 and another domu have no errors

It can run fine for days and at some point will get messages like this about 
ever 2 minutes.

[99893.452938]  =======================

Load is 1 but looks idle.
top - 15:52:11 up 1 day,  3:55,  1 user,  load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00
Tasks: 124 total,   1 running, 122 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:   2097348k total,  1212396k used,   884952k free,     9596k buffers
Swap:  2097144k total,        0k used,  2097144k free,   649000k cached

The only way I have been able to get the load back down is to reboot the domu.

I thought I had it licked as it has sometime worked for over 5 days with no 
errors so I have installed it in a  remote office so at this point rather not 
do any major changes.

Any Ideas?

John
