I compiled and installed the current unstable version of xen on an amd64 x2. Launching an hvm freezes the system right after spitting out:

Using config file "winxp.hvm".
Started domain winxp

I do get a 'white' window just before the freeze (using sdl). My host OS is Debian Etch and I'm using a 64 bit kernel. I tried both a winxp and ubuntu hvm with the same results. I expect this sort of thing from unstable, but just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Config is attached.

# Configure the behaviour when a domain exits.  There are three 'reasons'
# for a domain to stop: poweroff, reboot, and crash.  For each of these you
# may specify:

#   "destroy",        meaning that the domain is cleaned up as normal;
#   "restart",        meaning that a new domain is started in place of the old
#                     one;
#   "preserve",       meaning that no clean-up is done until the domain is
#                     manually destroyed (using xm destroy, for example); or
#   "rename-restart", meaning that the old domain is not cleaned up, but is
#                     renamed and a new domain started in its place.
