The ioapic_guest_write messages are just noise, and have no bearing on
the problem.  Are there no more messages from the kernel after "about to
get started"?  The ioapic messages at least tell us it is getting quite
a distance into the boot and discovering devices.

What happens if you have "console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen ignore_loglevel"
on the "module" line?  You should get more output from the kernel.  You
might also want "console=com1,vga" on the Xen line.
