<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Are there any errors to
console when the system hangs?<br>
<br>
My experience running 32-bit CentOS 5.1 instances on a 64-bit CentOS
5.1 Dom0 has been marginal. While many of the DomU's will stay up
without issue, others randomly reboot having accumulated "Bad pte ="
messages on console. One notable difference between our configs is
that you use file images whereas I am using LVMs. My 64-bit DomUs seem
to operate without trouble.<br>

I tried upgrading to xen 3.2 and encounter the same problem before
rebuilding back to stock Centos 5.1 64-bit Xen. I am able to use our
kickstarts configs to install Centos 5.1 64-bit HVM and Centos 4.5
32-bit HVM on this machine without any problem's. <br>
<br>
Below is xen configuration and the Centos 5.1 32-bit kickstart Config
file I have been using.<br>
<br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can provide addition
information if needed.<br>
