Run the dom0 in text mode, and see if you get an oops message.

Using a loopback file over NFS is a bad idea -- you're likely to find
the oom killer getting ivoked if you hit the disk hard with writes. This
is a standard Linux issue and is trivially reproduceable on native.

GNBD or iSCSI are much better options.

Its not widely tested, but should work.
