Interesting. Do you know if it's Xen crashing, or the dom0 Linux kernel? The Xen wiki has some hints about debugging: https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Debugging_Xen The first thing I would recommend is getting the server serial port working properly so that you can see Xen messages there. This bug was reported against Xen 4.8 (which is out of support and out of security support now). I would highly recommend to first upgrade to Xen 4.11 in current Debian stable and see if you can still reproduce this problem. If you no longer have this problem, or found a solution, please let know. If there's no activity, I will close this issue in about a month. Thanks, Hans
