Hum so Xen should have dome the reset, and has given up (or is actually
looping waiting for the CPU to reset). Maybe the dom0 kernel is doing
something to the hardware which prevents it from resetting but it's more
likely that the hypervisor it's doing the right thing to reset this
particular CPU/motherboard. You could try a newer hypervisor from
the 3.0-testing serie, from
