This is a known issue; most Xen implementations don't provide interrupts properly for the re(4) driver, but it actually works OK if you let the rtk(4) driver match, either by commenting out re(4) or using userconf to disable re, which you can do from boot.cfg. I don't know whether Xenserver allows you to change the emulation, but the wm(4) one works better. :)
