Arrfab said Xen crashes and reboots in the middle of the boot process,
and the blade chassis management logs the NMI error. The user is not pressing (NMI) buttons.

The serial log included is everything he gets. No error visible in the serial log,
only a crash/reboot without any errors.. No idea what could be causing that.. 

The same Dom0 kernel (pvops 3.4.28) boots OK on baremetal without Xen.

Do you have any Xen and/or dom0 kernel options to use to do further analysis?
