On another Xen server I've experienced domU hangs presumably due to dom0
not being able to process all I/O requests on time (dom0 continued to
live happily though as did other less I/O intensive domU's). The
solution was to allocate CPUs more specifically (ie. pin them to either
dom0 or domU and making sure dom0 has sufficient resources. I also
applied CPU "weights" in that case.
I've only seen kernel panics/oopses on a Xen server with an Adaptec Zero
RAID controller. Removing the controller (and using software RAID)
"fixed" that problem.
It might help if you post specific Xen/kernel version on the list - I'm
sure there are some (not me) folks here that know about possible issues
with Xen versions / kernels and panics.

Did the poster also say why you shouldn't have done that in the first place?

Good luck.
