[Xen-users] Xen 3.3.1 (pre): Windows install hangs with W2k8 64bit (HVM)

[Stephan AustermÃhle <au@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I had some trouble with Xen 3.3.0 so I decided to compile and test the 
latest available 3.3-testing branch (Mercurial's changeset 
18486:c05a663d3b24). With this code I tried to install W2k8 64bit as a 
HVM domain. The domU starts and boots from the CD (image) and the 
installer says "Windows is loading files..." but as soon as the 
progress bar reaches the right end the installer hangs. xentop says 
that the DomU with the hanging installer consumes one CPU completely.
I tried with an Debian 4.0r5 AMD64 and W2k8 32 bit image without 
problems. So maybe I have encountered a x86_64 problem. What details 
are needed to troubleshoot this problem?
Hardware:

Below are some command outputs.

Thanks + kind regards,

Stephan
