xen hung at "Checking for hardware changes"

So, xen is really beginning to piss me off. I turned off all my machines to do a snapshot, and when I tried to bring them back up, they were all in the 'blocked' state. Upon further investigation (using virt-manager/xm console), I found that they were hung at the "Checking for hardware changes" item in their boot process. This could be a CentOS/RHEL 5 issue, but I'm putting my money on xen.
