I'm pretty sure there's something going wrong with your qemu - I don't
know exactly WHAT goes wrong, but that's my feeling of this problem.
Check the latest qemu-dm.<pid>.log file (cat `ls -t|head -1` will show
you that) to see if that's got anything "interesting". 

You may also want to try an upgrade to Xen 3.0.4-1, as it's got a fair
number of improvements for HVM (SVM). 

I don't see anything wrong (including those messages about "unsupported
functions" in the BIOS - I get them all the time and they are harmless -
just means that the loader tries to do something that the BIOS doesn't
support, but loaders do a lot of things that may or may not be
important, including probing for functions that may or may not be
supported by the particular implementation - the only difference is that
most BIOS won't do anything to tell you that the software was trying to
use a function that didn't exist).
