I don't know what the stack trace means! You should post in the xen-users mailing lists. The dom0 you get from xen.org is 2.6.18 based. RedHat should give you a newer one. As of 2.6.18, the e1000e device was not supported by linux at all. Have you tried to compile the e1000e driver by obtaining the source from sourceforge ? @Leitao
