Description Jinxin Zheng 2011-12-20 10:53:37 UTC 
Description of problem:
Execute xm shutdown or xm reboot when the guest is booting. The xend.log shows the following message:

[2011-12-20 17:53:19 xend.XendDomainInfo 3219] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1335) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch
[2011-12-20 17:53:19 xend.XendDomainInfo 3219] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:1335) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch
[2011-12-20 17:53:49 xend.XendDomainInfo 3219] INFO (XendDomainInfo:1323) Domain shutdown timeout expired: name=vmtest1 id=20

Then the guest cannot be shut-down or reboot using xm, not even after the guest completes the booting process.
Shutdown or reboot from inside the guest works though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xenpv-win-1.3.12-3.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Windows guest, install xenpv-win driver, then reboot.
2. xm shutdown the guest when it is booting.
3. xm shutdown the guest after it completes booting. 
  
Actual results:
Cannot shutdown the guest using xm.

Expected results:
The guest could at least be shutdown by xm after the boot process completed.
