I can see how that would be annoying.

Nothing in dmesg or /var/log/xen* ?

If its not stuck in an endless loop of rebooting (as in you can't ctrl-c
fast enough to keep xendomains from starting it), and nothing is
appearing in the logs try this :

xm create domain.cfg > /root/info.txt 2>&1

If you still can't get any indication of what's going wrong (i.e.
info.txt remains empty and logs remain untouched), if the laptop has a
tv out plug in the back hook it up to a VCR or digital camera that can
record the output for later playback.

A good start would be pasting the configuration for the third dom-u, as
well as describing the OS its running, and anything special about it
that differs from the other two. That may suggest the issue without the
benefit of logs.

But what fun is that? (kidding) Sorry to see you in such a predicament..
hopefully you'll be able to trap the output so someone can help you.
