Thanks for the effort but how does this solve the problem that xen doesn't
start? I'm already running virtual hosts on that machine and I can't rip
all of this apart just to get stuck with unbootable system again. 

What I need is to find out what the problem is and then start ripping stuff
apart. I've tried to compile xen myself, versions 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, hg tip, all
get stuck at some time during xen boot. Until I've tried the live cd, I
thought that it's some incompatibility with my hardware but since the live cd is
debian lenny on iso and it works fine, I have to look for the part that causes
xen to freeze.

Since there is only bios, grub and xen running in turn before the machine
gets stuck I'd say that the problem is in one of these systems.

I'll try to find out something about grub and then I'm going after kvm before
I decide to scratch the whole machine.

but thanks for the effort
