[CentOS] Running CentOS 4.6 domUs on CentOS 5.1 dom0 and domUs crash

  I have a CentOS 5.1 dom0 running on a machine with two cores and 4gb 
of memory. It runs three 4.6 domUs and one 5.1 domU. Just out of the 
blue the other night all the 4.6 domUs crashed, but the dom0 stayed up. 
I ran xm console (domU-name) and got the Oops information below. I 
didn't get anything from the 5.1 domU. I think it had been rebooted a 
few days before and hadn't come up because of a initrd issue.

First 4.6 domU:
