What version of Linux kernel do you have in your DomU? There was a
serious problem in 2.6.32 with the Xen fb that causes this type of
failure that was fixed at some point (don't remember the time-frame
thought :-().

I haven't seen this with PCI passthrough on my test-bed - but I do see that
with DRM, which you don't have enabled. Can you make sure you have
the latest version of xen/next from Jeremy's git tree?

Did you try other PCI devices and seen if they do the same thing?
