 Centos 5.2
 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen kernel

If a physical Windows machine blue screens, can you get more
information from it?
I'm not sure what you're trying to obtain here, other than some domU
debugging which is outside the console area anyway.

Just read the Windows event log and/or crash dump.

 People at vmware have provided patches for RHEL 5 that aim to fix
 timekeeping issues in vmware guests.

 They were hoping to get them into the RHEL 5.3 kernel but
 unfortunately this is not going to happen.  It looks like the patches
 will be in the RHEL 5.4 kernel.  Using the patches provided in the
 bugzilla, I have rebuilt the latest test kernel (-125) that is
 available from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus.  You can download the
 patched kernel from:

 http://centos.toracat.org/kernel/centos5/vmware463573/

An update:

A test kernel ( 2.6.18-130.el5virttest6) with the current set of
patches was made available upstream at:
