I had that issue recently with 2008 r2, a non r2 disc however worked fine. Does it happen to be r2?

It certainly is.

I've just discovered a similar problem occurs with Ubuntu 9.10. Here it hangs immediately after:

  Initializing cgroup subsys net_cls

I think this is around the point where it probes what CPUs are available and what their features are.

I should point out we haven't had any problem with Win 2k8 R2 Web on Xen 3.2 on other hardware. We're running it in a couple of DomU's on a Supermicro 6025B-URB with a pair of Xen E5420's. Could there be some feature of the E5520 CPUs that is being exposed to DomU's but that shouldn't be?

I tried Xen 3.4.2 downloaded directly from xen.org. This is even worse -- we boot images off the network to do installs, but on 3.4.2 gPXE simply hangs, then fills the screen with white.
