[Fedora-xen] Windows Vista RC1 on Xen 3.0.3 FC6

I got the memory warning message to go away...  Does anyone know what this
means?

False I/O request ... in-service already: 0, pvalid: 0, port: 0, data: 0,
count: 0, size: 0

My DomU runs for about 5 seconds and then drops to 0% CPU and just shows a
black screen

Thanks,

Ian
