No, nothing unusual. In fact, in one case, I have a machine that has 
both SLES 9 and FC3. When I build Xen on SLES 9 and boot Dom0, I can 
recreate the problem. On the same machine, when I build Xen on FC3 and 
boot Dom0, the problem does not occur. I built Xen the same way in both 
instances; the setups are the same with regards to Xen, the only 
variable (and a big one) is the distro.

Yes, and the problem still occurred.
