Hello Bob,
I am not a Xen professional, but had no problems installing WinXP (SP2
integrated and 32bit) on a 64bit Gentoo machine. Here is my config-file:
<snip>
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
name = "winxp"
vcpus=1
pae=1
acpi=1
apic=1
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:3a:d0:6f, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vgrp0/winxp,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/hda,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
# boot="d" # CDROM for installation
boot="c" # HD for finishing Setup and running WinXP
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd='XXXX'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
</snip>

Only one device?? Where are you installing to?? Try to make 2 devices
like this:
disk = [ 'file:/srv/xen/winxp64.img,hda,w',
'phy:/dev/YOURCDROMDRIVE,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
And you need to add the boot parameter I guess:
boot="d" # CDROM for installation
#boot="c" # HD for finishing Setup and running WinXP
First run it with "d" to install from your winxp-cd, after the first
reboot, kill the machine, set it to "c" and startup again, that worked
for me. I guess you could use boot="dc" but never tried that.
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:1b:72:1e, bridge=xenbr0', ]
uuid = "6a8a9359-f8c2-cf91-f338-dc3e63177d8f"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vcpus=2
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
I have an AMD Athlon 5000+ X2 (made sure I got a processor supporting
hardware virtualization specifically for this task) with plenty of ram
and hd space.
I have a X2 too, works like a charme, after some Bios-related problems
:-D Hope I could help!?
