I resemble that remark. Sorry.
My mail runs through the machine, though, so I had to boot it to
read this message. :)
Thanks for the info,

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.
