This isn't a crash. The error shows because the module doesn't exist.
I'm not keep on patching the init scripts of EL6 to remove the message
as that has the potential to cause more problems than to remove a
cosmetic only error.

And it has - hence you see the 'error'.

Which kernel were you using? DomU configuration? Dom0 configuration? Are
you using PVH? Linux guest? Windows guest? 'Older Xen kernel' in what?
The DomU? The Dom0?

As a side note, I'd recommend removing the stock kernels on the Dom0 -
it will operate quite fine without them.
