Yes,

mem and disk check was also our first thing to do. But it happened on different machines (1950s and 2950s), different BIOS versions and number of NICs. The freeze situation is unrecoverable - machine replies to pings, but did not write anything to console. You cannot SSH to it, the only thing we could do is power down the machine. After that everything is fine.

I've had Xen running for around 2 1/2 years on a couple of vintages of 2950s under both Ubuntu and CentOS and it's been very reliable in all combinations. The only issue I can remember having is when the dom0 kernel doesn't have enough memory available to it, it can seem a bit catatonic.
