Hi,

I'm using vanilla 2.6.32.7 domU kernel with Xen 3.2 and get very often a
unresponsible system after approximately one or two days with messages such as

[43616.674502] CE: xen increasing min_delta_ns to 16086592372704132408 nsec

on the console. I fail to login via ssh and even to cleanly shutdown this
system via xm <id> shutdown. sysrq requests still work.

I searched the net but found only messages with 15000 nsec. My values are a
little bit larger :-)) Found references to the kernel parameter notsc and
tried it but the problem remains.

The problem started once I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.26 to 2.6.32.7.
I changed from 32bit to 64bit but apart from this I did only a make oldconfig.
That's why I think it's not my config which causes trouble.

Any ideas? Is it a known problem?
