I did some configuration changes on a XenServer 5.6 (Which I believe is
running CentOS 5.5 under the hood).  After a reboot, the server failed
to come back up.  Connecting to the serial console, I see that it hangs
right after setting hostname:

Setting hostname somehostname:  [  OK  ]
INFO: task nash:5282 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
INFO: task nash:5282 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.




the last two lines keep repeating.

How can I get this server to boot up?  Do I need to use a cd and go into
rescue mode?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Russ
