I think I've seen this once before but couldn't reproduce it. The
installer waits for all the devices to be ready before asking for a
reboot, otherwise you'll end up with the 0x7B "boot device inaccessible"
BSoD next boot.

When it is hung like that, can you go into device manager and tell me
what xen devices are loaded?

Thanks

James
