Are there any errors to
console when the system hangs?
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.

I am trying to a install Centos 5.1 32-bit Xen HVM DomU
onto a Centos 5.1 64bit DomU with the default xen installed and the
kickstart hangs at random points during the install process. Sometimes
retrieving the image, sometimes formatting the filesystem, sometimes
installing the packages,etc.
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.
Below is xen configuration and the Centos 5.1 32-bit kickstart Config
file I have been using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can provide addition
information if needed.
