When the PC freezes completely EVERYTHING stops, the whole thing is no longer responding and no processes function. When the system background logging continues (crond) which I set up to log things every 5 minutes on every virtual as well as dom0. > 3) Provide a full detailed description of the behavior you exhibit to > the xen-users list.

I leave system on for a couple of days, sometimes even a day, or over night, or sometimes even while I'm using it... It locks up. Sometimes logging continues, sometimes it doesn't. (my crond logging script) ---------------- I only have 50 guests. I only have maybe 10-15 running at any one time. Normally they use 2048 GB RAM each, not balanced. Some I have set to 1024 GB RAM, such as NetVM or ProxyVM or other Guests that do not do much other than file sharing, or inter-vm operations or just a firewall.
