What is the distro you have? If it is RHEL5 look also:

Please follow http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps the
'Troubleshooting..' section and also the 
"Are there more debugging options I could enable to troubleshoot booting

Please attach the full debug serial console. I belive that machine has
an IPMI BMC, so you should be able to use SOL. Look for details on:
