Today morning I found my xen crashed I was using Debian lenny amd64 bit
2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 and xen-3.2.1

Xen had crashed
even though I try to restart it gives error
openworld:~# xm list
Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running?
openworld:~# /etc/init.d/xend start
Starting XEN control daemon: xendFATAL: Could not create tdb file
/var/lib/xenstored/tdb: Input/output error
failed!

This link http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-05/msg00969.html
but I am unable to understand what to do I am using Debian Lenny and xen-3.2


it seems it is a bug

I digged a bit more looked at /var/log/messages and found
an error [ 0.377064] map irq failed
it was repeated at many places in the file.After reboot xen fails to start.
Seems to be a known bug numbered 502849

linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64: unable to handle kernel paging request
and this problem is only in amd64 kernels.

reading the mailing list archives it appears using sid is the only
solution they mentioned.I am not clear with now.
If what I have found which I most probably seem to be correct but is
there any thing else I need to check before I reach this conclusion?

What should I infer from this ?
I am not clear if the error message and bug I posted is corrected or not ?

Seems to be that the "/var/lib/xenstored/tdb" file is inaccessible -
probably due to underlying filesystem damage. Xend is bailing out
because it is unable to read the TDB file.

I am not sure if you can recover/recreate this TDB file. Try a
filesystem check, however, I don't suppose the error will be
recoverable.
