Hello Paul.

Not sure but seems to me that you're hitting a balooning issue.

can you try and set: dom0_mem=max:1024M as an HV parameter on boot?

I have a couple of Xen amd64 Squeeze boxes (fully updated) that don't
present this crash, they're running ganeti and drbd instances without flaws.

My boot parameters are similar, thought, i've configured them to use a
512m fixed amount of ram and only 1 cpu on dom0 (appending nosmp to the
kernel)

Kind regards.
