Can you setup a serial console for it and add in debug/verbose messages:

Example:
 kernel /xen-3.3.gz dom0_mem=1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
com1=19200,8n1 console=com1
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.28-rc8-tip.gz ro root=/dev/vg00/lv01 console=hvc0
earlyprintk=xen

Most likely the dom0 kernel is crashing due to missing a driver or something...
Or some other kernel panic condition maybe.

Cheers,
Todd
