I have a guest that keeps crashing and want to automatically reboot it when it crashes. See:
xen PV guest kernel 2.6.32 processes lock up in D state https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550724
if you want to look at the details on the crashing.
Btw please see: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenCommonProblems
Especially the chapter about debugging crashed guests. It would be very helpful to grab a stacktrace of the crashed guest to debug it.
I've already done this, there are some stack traces in the bugzilla entry.
Andrew Jones seems to think that the problem in this case is actually in the Xen hypervisor and not the guest. Problem is I seem to be the only one hitting this.
Redhat bugzilla seems to be down, so I can't check the details about the bugreport. Is the guest single-vcpu or multi-vcpu? 32bit or 64bit?
64bit multi-vcpu. The guest is quite heavyweight, 30GB of memory and 12vcpu. It's a LTSP server designed to handle lots of graphical logins for computer science students. This, I guess is not a common workload.
