Further investigation revealed that the installation reboots while extracting
files, so the installation does not get to finish entirely. I'm testing now on
Xen 4.0. Up till now it gets simpley stuck while extracting the files, once at
16%, once at 74%. Trying to see if this has to do with free disk space on my
test machine. But my guess is it won't work on Xen 3.4. 4.0 Remains a
question.
