I see this exact same crash however, for me, it happens immediately at
boot, ie. xen crash starting dom0 in setup.S and reboot in 5 seconds. I
have tried all sorts of config fiddling and nothing seems to get it to
the stage of a printk from linux.
Only the XCP kernel gives me a functioning dom0 on this machine.
I don't really know what to suspect here - in my case it's possibly more
than one issue.
