There may be more information in the "xm dmesg", but my first
inclination would be to disable APIC (change apic=1 to apic=0 in the
configuration file shown above). 

This is because the APIC version of Windows uses an instruction that
isn't supported by the older versions of Xen (older than a few weeks
that is). If that doesn't help, try a fresh reboot and send the output
from "xm dmesg" (if you know what to look for, just cut out the last
relevant lines of a recent one, but if you're not sure what's relevant
and what's not, just reboot the machine and send the whole thing).
