Interesting ! I did that, and then :

# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0           0       59    0  r----   5915.7       
Domain-16         16       63    0  -b---    328.7       
Domain-17         17      127    0  -b---    699.8       
Domain-21         21        0    0  ----c      0.0       
Domain-22         22        0    0  ----c      0.0       

I could successfully create a new domain attached to a console, and stop 
it ; but other stuff didn't work :

# xm console 16
Error: No console information

And xm shutdown didn't do anything, it seems. Destroying crashed domains 
didn't work either. It keeps spitting those messages every couple of 
seconds in xend.log :

[2004-11-30 18:06:44 xend] DEBUG (XendDomain:244) XendDomain>reap>

['Domain-22', '22']

xend-debug.log and xm dmesg are silent.

Anything useful I can try to get more information about this before I 
reboot the beast ? :-)
