This indicates to me that you've got some sort of mixup. Which of the
three or four "destroyDevice()" functions is it? There should be a
calltrace in /var/log/xen/xend.log... Not that it will really help much
to know that, but at least it's some help. [And it's really a
consequence of the guest dying anyways, so it's not particuarly helpful
to fix it].

You don't need kernel SOURCES to build the initrd, just kernel
installation files (in particular the modules from the kernel). 

If you search for "mkinitrd xen guest" or some such in google, you
should be able to find the right command to add the necessary modules
for the guest setup.
