As you found out you need more memory for the RH 2.6.18 kernel then
then stock one which Xen.org uses because RH backports later kernel
features and enables advanced features.
The errors you are seeing are network related so it might be checksum
offloading in dom0 and domU is getting in the way.
Use ethtool to disable checksum offloading in dom0 and the domU.
This is a newer Xen "feature" then what was in your older kernel you
could just try disabling checksum offloading in the domU only.
