Hi Robert,

Xen will not boot on Altix out of the box at this time, and it's going
to be a while before it will be of any use but raw development work.
In addition your prom is too old to work with Xen, but thats clearly
not the issue you're hitting there.

If you're looking to get into developing Xen for Altix then I have
some patches I can share when I get back after OLS, but otherwise I
would recommend not trying it for now.

Regards,
Jes
