Yes you can.

The example file in the 3.0.3 release should show you what's current:
tools/examples/xmexample.hvm shows you the new CD-ROM format, for example.

I don't think this is your problem though.  I suspect that you are using an
old version of libxenctrl.  This library and your hypervisor need to be
matched, otherwise you will get weird errors like this.

If that's not it, please send "xm dmesg" and /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log.

HTH,

Ewan.
