Hi all.  Under CentOS 5.3 with a very common set of hardware and software (I have several of these machines, running several types of guests, all under 3.3.1 or 3.4), I'm hitting an Oops on the tapdisk process after I start particular guests.  Please forgive me in advance, as I don't have serial on this box so I can't fully capture the console text.  I do have what syslog spits out to the terminal while running 'xm create -c':

I'll also attach a screenshot of what I get from the server console.  domU config is as follows:
 
kernel = "/home/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-xen-686"
ramdisk = "/home/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-686"
memory = 499
name = "jal"
vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:3d:a0:31, vifname=jal, script=vif-jal']
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/home/vps/jal.img,sda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
extra = "4"
vcpus=1
>>builder = 'linux'
Problem is present using CentOS 5.x guests using the Cent kernel also.  The aforementioned domU is Debian 4 though.  I've tried this under 3.3.1-release and the latest 3.3.1 from xen-3.3-testing as of two days ago with the same result.  I set maxium loop devices at 255 (was 8), no change.  Also, after the Oops is triggered, I can no longer start domUs (even good ones which would otherwise not exhibit the problem), until after a reboot.  Is this a Xen problem, or should I be looking at the OS or something else?
