Ok,

I left the configuration file without the cd-rom and I successfully
installed the
gpl pv driver. Then after the reboot, it worked like a charm.

disk entry:
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/dati/xen/vmstore/windows-7/xenwin7.img,hda,w' ]

Now, windows is still in Test Mode (I guess it should be reported with
TESTSIGNING OFF, isn't it?).

Do you think that replacing the disk entry again with the following, will make
crash the system again?

disk = [ 'file:/mnt/dati/xen/vmstore/windows-7/xenwin7.img,hda,w',
'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

By the way, I didn't understand how to use the command "xl cd-insert
<domain_id>"
I don't understand if it is possible to bind an iso image as a cd rom
for the guest OS or not, and
how can I virtually insert a cd-rom in the domU using xm cd-insert.

I read the application help:
Usage: xl [-v] cd-insert <Domain> <VirtualDevice> <type:path>
but I don't understand what I should put in place of VirtualDevice and
type:path.

Best Regards,
