Yeah, from those logs it looks OK. Was that a "coaxed" Xen boot? It
certainly looks like lots of interrupts are being received properly
(drives detected, usb probed, etc).
Also, for a more direct comparison, what happens when you boot native
with pci=nomsi? I assume it will work, but it will make the logs
directly comparable; or maybe the system just doesn't work without MSI?
