I just installed xen 4.2.1 and linux 3.4.43 on one of my boxes and ran
into a weird issue that looks like a race condition in the startup
scripts.

When I reboot, I see the startup messages from the xen-commons script
about xenconsoled and the QEMU backend starting, Then immediately
after that, I get a message saying the system is switching to run level 0

I then get messages from the xendomains startup script saying it's
shutting down 2 of the  the 5 domains I have in /etc/xen/auto, then a
finally

SHUTDOWN_ALL

where it seems to hang. I don't see the startup messages from the xend
and the xendomains startup script, but presumably they've run since it
tries to shutdown some domains.

The fix was to add a sleep 10 to the start of the xendomains startup
script, though that seems a little hacky
