Can you use a newer version of Xen? or did you try using sdl=1? In Xen starting in 3.3, you should use vncviewer="yes" and that loads the vnc windows automatically. If you can't use a newer version of Xen, take a look in /var/log/xen/qemu* for errors. Actually looking again at the config, get rid of the cdrom= line and instead add the cdrom to the disk line: something like: disk = ['file:/mount/extended/vm_image/xp_disk.img,ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/home/billy/winxp_sp3.iso, hdc:cdrom,r'] Hope that helps.
