Hi Mike, I tried xen-unstable and I could finally install WinXP on domU! Thank you for your help! I still have some problems with xen-unstable, such as dom0 crushes at init (that I poorly worked out) and dom0 cannot resolve host names. But they seem to be issues on building xen-unstable. Thanks again for your kind help.

The problem I had was the whole system would reboot (Domain0 & GuestDomain). It wasn't until I went to xen-unstable that I could get a working system. I've not yet tried 'xen-testing' - that's something I should put on my todo list.....
