Environment.
RHEL 5.2 (2.6.18-128.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 12:22:24 EST 2008 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux)
Xen Guest name: Virtbox1

When I perform a restart of a guest the system fails to come backup up
with an odd crash restart continuous loop. Yet if I do a shutdown,
and
then bring the virtual guest up all is fine. I get the following
errors
repeatedly withing xend.log during this loop crash. I would
appreciate
any advice.

Hello Fern:

I see that you have been updating your RHEL 5.2 system. Has this crash
aways been a problem or did it recently start?

I wonder if it might be best to continue with your updates and get your
system up to 5.3? Then, if you still have the same crashes, this might
be a very good time to use your Red Hat support.

What do you think?

Pete
Well this box is new in general. According to the system all updates
have been applied. I never noticed the system causing this issue prior
to the updates.. hard to say.

Hello Fern:

As of early last week, Red Hat made its final release of 5.3 in which
some 730 bugs were fixed. If you have not had a fairly massive update
of your Tikanga since early last week, followed by a probable mandatory
reboot, your system may be in need of these changes. Try executing:

$ rpm -q redhat-release

Please post the result.

Pete
I get ..

redhat-release-5Server-5.3.0.3


Hello Fern:

That would be a fairly strong indicator that your RHEL server /is/ at
version 5.3 and not 5.2

Lest any doubt remains, you could run:

# yum clean packages headers metadata dbcache ; yum update -y

If no additional updates are forthcoming, it may be advisable to try Red
Hat's support for your Xen Guest trouble.

Best wishes.

Pete
