This happens to me after I updated from kernel-xen-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6 to
kernel-xen-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.

I after it happened twice, I selected the old 2.6.19 version of the kernel from
the grub menu and have had no problem (my previous uptime on the 2.6.29-1.2911
had been several months).

I don't see any odd messages in the /var/log/messages files from before the
abrupt reboots.

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name

Comment 2 Eduardo Habkost 2007-06-04 13:06:27 UTC 
This looks like the problem reported on bug #234008. Could you test kernel-xen 
2.6.20-1.2952.fc6, that is on updates-testing repository?
Comment 3 Glen Eustace 2007-06-10 19:57:05 UTC 
2952 would appear to resolve the issue, thanks.
