One interesting note: I started 20 VMs without console and
when all VMs were running I started to connect to the consoles
with "xm console name". I connected to all consoles (I had 20 open
xterms) and wierd things started to happen for consoles 11-20.
Some got timeout and some did nothing. I then started to shutdown
few first VMs by running "halt -p" inside the VM. Soon some of
the still "hanging" consoles got a connection and I got a
normal login prompt. Really weird...
