So from the log it looks like you are getting a hard crash?

Did you try adding noreboot to the xen command line and then trying
to get any more information with sysreq stuff?

Another thing that I noticed in the log is:

irq 12: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Is it an smp kernel? I had some weird problems when passing nosmp at
one point.

I don't recognize this crash, those module traces, at least for me were
non-fatal and didn't cause a crash. I was normally just dropped to a
initramfs prompt in the case when the disk was not detected properly.

I was then able to at least look around and check that modules were
loaded correctly etc.
