After memtest found no errors, I gave another shot at looking for a software
reason for the crashes and found the cause.

I hadn't mention that I messed up the bridge setup. I didn't think that
could lock up the host machine, but it did. Once I had the bridge fixed, the
crashing stopped and network has been working on the guest. So it was my bad
there.

I thought that an incorrect network config would only affect networking, but
it was causing a kernel panic.
