[Glenn Kelley]

i have an x2100 and cannot duplicate this 
sorry - meant to mention that in the list - in fact thought i did - but who knows may not have hit the send ...

I've moved the guest around to different nodes in the cluster, and the VM-IO-induced crashing is universal. AFAIK the hardware is fine, the crashes follow this user's workpatterns - which aren't exceptional IMO. We've recreated this instance 4 times now I think.
