When booting the xen-sources-2.6.20-r6 (or -r4 or -r5) kernel, I get sudden lags, so that, for example, typed letters appear twice. Like this: emmerge --syync This lag happens every few minutes for a few minutes. The other time it runs as usual. It's only related to the xen-kernel. The xend Deamon is not started. I use enlightenment-17 as window manager and do not have this problems with any non-related xen-kernels.

Created attachment 133870 [details] current xen-kernel config 2.6.20-r6
Is this still happening with current Xen and the .21 or .18 kernel? Do you have DomUs running?
Dropped version. Try .29 or .31 :)
