   This is the last line printed by EFI before you should start seeing
output from the Linux kernel.  So, your kernel isn't sending output to
VGA or is unhappy for other reason.  Sometimes sending the output to the
HVM uart is useful to see what's going on.  Try adding
"console=uart,io,0x3f8,115200n8" (or if that doesn't work, try something
with earlycon=).  You'll need to use "xm create -c" to connect to the
HVM console and you should see lots of output from the GFW as EFI boots.
Use EFI on the VNC interface and look for kernel output on the console.
There's also xenctx and xenitp if you want to figure out where the CPU
is in a debugger environment.
