For HVM guests, there is quite a bit of information logged to
/var/log/xen/qemu* logs.

Do you see anything there that might help?

Also, could you post your domU config file, and as suggested by Jerry Amundson:
log file entries, stdout messages, etc? These really do help in
debugging the situation.

Also, you didn't mention your version of Xen, how it was installed,
your kernel versions etc.

A quick comment on your general comments on Xen: Xen already has a lot
of attention from
a lot of people. The distros, and other big third parties have taken
Xen under their wing and
there are a lot of really professional software on and around Xen.

I would recommend taking a look at the xen.org site, which is
currently under re-design, but
will still give you a better sense of where Xen is and, where it has
been, and where it is going.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Todd
