Xen users - Sep 2009 - Windows Server 2008 as DomU, won''t reboot / shutdown

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello!

I have a fresh install of Debian stable with Xen dom0 on it. The dom0 is
amd64 and things run quite smoothly on dom0 side. I installed both W2k8
OEM and Debian Etch as domU''s and they run just as well.

The problem here is that I can''t shutdown / reboot domU''s
correctly.
They just halt to "---s--" -state or stay in that for a long time.

Sometimes it helps to ''re-create'' domU via xm create,
specially with
w2k8. That will "wake up" the machine and it''ll reboot /
shutdown properly.

I have anohter xen dom0 and that doesn''t have this kind of issues so
I''m
a bit lost here. I''ve tried to ask from uncle Google and browse trough
archives, but nothing definitive has came up.

Hopefully someone can help me out.

Is your dom0 pinned to cpu0? 
Try ''xm vcpu-set Domain-0 4'' (here 4 is the number of
"cpu")
before reboot/shutdown or after it get stucked... and
if the domU reboots then pin your dom0 with ''xm vcpu-set Domain-0
1'' again
to cpu0...
