I've been running:

kernel-xenU-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5
xen-3.0.2-3.FC5

The kernel is from 3.0.1 if I remember - its kernel 2.6.16.13 but the server
it was compiled on has been installed over (by another FC5 setup I'm trying
to replicate the crash on!)

I need make a choice on whether to stick with the FC5 version of Xen or roll
my own older version of Xen 3.0.1. Or, since it seems to work, try dom0+Xen
3.0.2 with a kernel from 3.0.1 (patched with the relevant security fixes in
the linux kernel of course.)

I'll do that, thanks!
