Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Unmodified Windows etc on XEN 3.0 with Intel/VT or AMD/Pacifica
Have you tried using qemu to test if the install CD works?

qemu -hda /data/xen/images/win2k/win_boot.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 512
-boot d -d

I also don't see the "device_model" line in your config
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

Aravindh
PS: I too have never been able to get VNC to work. Is any special
incantation needed? :-)
