Take a look at this ongoing bug I am working on with a few people.
Sounds like a very similar scenario, except we are all seeing
kernel-oops alongside the similar behavior.  I can start a dom0, start a
machine, even start multiple machines, each creating a fault, but still
functioning apparently normally.  But as soon as you take one of the
live machines down, no new ones will start, and the same machine cannot
be restarted.
