I think I'm getting somewhere, after the previous attempt at disabling 
all GPLPV drivers and services, I re-enabled *just* the XenHide device, 
and it booted.
I cleaned out registry entries (a bit of care required as some Xen 
entries come from QEMU not from GPLPV) also some registry permissions 
needed changing to allow deletion.
Then I changed the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ACPI_HAL\PNP0C08\0\Control\ActiveService 
back to its default value of "ACPI"
Then deleted the .inf/.pnf/.sys files which related to gplpv

Rebooted and no blue screen :-)

Then I installed the 9.11-pre4 version, seemed to get a lot of pop-up 
warnings, and eventually the xen devices showed up with yellow bangs (at 
the same as the qemu devices)
I'm just about to reboot with /GPLPV flag and hopefully the yellow bangs 
will disappear ...
