I tried with viridian disabled but did the same thing, looking cdrom as 
latest thing before xenbug trace in qemu log I tried also to remove it 
but also in this case don't boot correctly, full qemu log in attachment.
I don't know if is a ovmf thing to improve (like what seems in Laszlo 
and Kevin mails) or xen winpv drivers unexpected case, have you tried 
also with latest winpv builds? (for exclude regression)
Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
