Could you run xen-bugtool then, and please post your logs so I can have a look
around.  It might fail, since yours is quite a low level problem, in which
case please send /var/log/{xend,xend-debug}.log at the least, but hopefully it
will be able to run and create a tarball of stuff for you to send.

Thanks,

Ewan.
