Can you start the guest, and capture the portion of log mesages in
/var/log/xen/xend.log  that occurr at startup. THere was a change in the
virtual framebuffer protocol & config file around beta2 time, so perhaps
there's some slight incompatability you're seeing. Also what version of
'xen', libvirt, virt-manager have you got in Dom0, and what version
of kernel-xen have you got in DomU ?
