Don't know. I didn't came that far until now.
Attached patch fixes the hang. The issue is that 'xl create' tries to
start qemu-dm from a directory it isn't installed in.
Signed-off-by: Christoph Egger <Christoph.Egger@xxxxxxx>
Now I can start a guest with 'xl create' but xl is still not there.
I can spot yet another bugs:
1) I can't see the full boot loader output on the guest's serial console.
The output starts when the bootloader invokes a timer.
The output coming before that is sort of skipped.
When I start the guest with 'xm' all is fine.
2) The guest crashes:

The guests boot fine when I start them with 'xm create'.
