Hi

So you updated the domUs kernels when updating the dom0 kernel?
That's the problem.

Make a copy (or hardlink) of each used kernel for each guest and let the
guests use those copies.
So they have their kernel and will work independently of updates.
You can then also update domUs kernels distinctly...

See above.
