I'm getting some problems to create a HVM Debian domU.

HVM in enabled:

(XEN) AMD SVM Extension is enabled for cpu 0.

This is the domU's config file:

xenhost6:/etc/xen# cat debian.hvm|grep ^[^#]
kernel = "hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 256
shadow_memory = 8
name = "Debian"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr1' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vm/debian.swap,ioemu:sda1,w',
         'phy:/dev/vm/debian.raiz,ioemu:sda2,w',
         'phy:/dev/hda,ioemu:hda:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = 'qemu-dm'
boot="dc"
sdl=1
vnc=1
stdvga=0
serial='pty'


xenhost6:/etc/xen# xm create -c debian.hvm
Using config file "debian.hvm".
Started domain Debian

It freeze here.

In another console:

the output from xm dmesg is:

(XEN) (GUEST: 5) HVM Loader

and the domU appears to be up:

xenhost6:~# xm list
Name                                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   Time(s)

Domain-0                                   0     1712     1 r-----   33.7

but the Debian installer doesn't start. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Daniel
