I have been testing 2.6.37 kernels as a xen dom0 both with and without
patches from xen/next-2.6.37 and I get a long pause with a blank
screen before anthing seems to happen. I am attaching the kernel boot
log. There seem to be a few pauses, the first is followed by

[   37.619375] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0x27)
[   37.619393] ata1.00: failed to read native max address (err_mask=0x4)
[   37.619400] ata1.00: HPA support seems broken, skipping HPA handling

That's your primary HDD?

Yes

Does it work properly once it gets past this?

Yes (it crashes on shutdown but I haven't tried the latest xen patches yet).

What kind of controller is it attached to?  What does /proc/interrupts
look like?

I have attached the contents of /proc/interrupts with and without xen.
