I have been testing this the last few days, I have never seen anything
behave so erratically. You could try the tips in the Xen faq for FC3. I
am using FC4 with rpm from updates testing on a Tyan 2462 SMP machine,
going to try spinning rpms of unstable and using vanilla kernel base
next if this doesn't work.
Good Luck,
Ted
