I was the other who reported (via bugzilla, #402) a crash with 3ware.  I 
was told the 3ware driver does not look >4GB safe.  I run the same 
hardware specs using other (non-xen) kernels using PAE and >4GB and have 
absolutely no troubles though.  I am still in a re-testing phase since 
3.0.0 was announced.  I have yet to put customers on this setup (which 
is where whatever can happen, will happen).
