Maybe dom0 kernel is your problem.. I remember there was a bug in kernel
that caused that kind of problems.

That hardy's dom0 kernel is known to have other bugs aswell.

If possible, try running the latest linux-2.6.18-xen from xenbits.
Or some other dom0 kernel, and see if that fixes the problem.
