Actually only setting "acpi=1" is enough.
Virtualbox says virtualizing apic is "expensive", and I assume it's
the same thing on Xen, so I usually set it off whenever possible.

Looks like you haven't done that part yet :P See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309283 (short story: you need halacpi)
http://www.vernalex.com/guides/sysprep/hal.shtml (look for boot.ini.
You only need the /HAL option, not /KERNEL. The necessary hal*.dll is
available on Windows install CD).

Note that choosing the wrong HAL might make your system unbootable, so
it's best to have BACKUP of domU's disk image (even if it's just LVM
snapshot) and lots of test. It's also handy to have kpartx and
ntfs-3g, in case domU fails to boot and you need to access it's
filesystem from dom0.
