It sounds like an irq routing issue. Hopefully this will be fixed in a
few weeks time with 2.1 when this code gets moved back to domain 0.

In the meantime, it might be interesting to see what a native 2.4.27
kernel does on this machine as Xen's current code is closer to this than
2.6.

Has the motherboard got an IOAPIC?
