I ran the "stop" for all of the xen related pieces in the order that the /etc/rc3.d/ had them.
The VM's did not shutdown and the /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm STUFF entries were left behind running.
Since I could not xm shutdown any longer, I killed off all qemu-dm proccesses and attempted a reboot...
HUNG on the reboot with the prepended umount error messages...

Next reboot attempt included the "reboot=pci" grub.conf kernel option... No affect :(

I ran out of time to attempt an xm shutdown for each VM manually, then reboot.

What's interesting is that when I do an lsof on the file system that is unable to umount, the *only* connected PID's are the qemu-dm ones, but not *all* of them.???

Thanks

...

UPDATE: I cleanly shut down *all* vm's and unmounted the filesystem that had the umount issue noted previously and then issued the reboot command. *STILL* the Dell R710 will be hung at the rebooting line.

No reboot possible on 2 Dell R710's with at least the 2 most recent CentOSXen4 kernels.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
