Maybe if you post your woes for the guests you are having problems
with on that guest's mailing list or here guest-by-guest.
The first time for each guest is non-trivial, the second and third
times is trivial.
I find that if you have hardware virtualization available that it
is best to install fully virtualized, then afterwards download
the Xen PV kernel and work from that (making sure to change
storage device names to match). Also understand how the Xen config
files are setup (look in /etc/xen at the examples) and how to
extract the managed domains config using either 'xm list -l <domain>'
or 'virsh dumpxl <domain>'.
