Hi,
Server "elephant" unexpectedly crashed, then crashed twice more
shortly after rebooting but before completely starting all VPSes. It
is now crashing every time while trying to boot VPSes. I suspected
bug in last round of XSA patches so reverted to previous hypervisor,
but problem persists. We had an issue with "elephant" not so long
ago so it might be hardware fault *though no logs to back this up).
Still investigating, sorry.

At the moment its kernel is crashing some way towards the end of
starting up all VMs. I'm trying to isolate the issue to one
particular VM because if a guest can crash the host then it's a bug
in the hypervisor and just moving guests around won't solve the
problem.
It would be helpful if people did not keep logging in and restarting
their VPSes while I am doing this. It's not going to help you much
as the host is almost certainly going to crash or be rebooted soon.
Seems I need to toggle off the ability for people to log in, or at
least to start their guests, while under maintenance.
Cheers,
Andy
