 When I built Xen 3.3 from source, I had a similar problem getting

Hi
I was building a template for deploying Windows 2003 and all was 
working fine however I've hit an issue where trying to start Windows 
2003 domU's isn't working and I'm ending up with 
[root@LSN-D2066 ~]# xm list
Name                                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   
Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0     2442     4 r-----     
23.7
newwintemplate.vm                          4      511     1 
------      0.0
vladawin.vm                                5      511     1 
------      0.0
wintemplate.vm                             6      511     1 
------      0.0 
Where the time stays at 0.0. It was working fine and something 
obviously changed but I don't know what. 
When starting the domU the interface is being added to the bridge 
device as I first thought it was a networking issue as tunctl wasn't 
installed 
[root@LSN-D2066 ~]# brctl show
bridge name    bridge id        STP enabled    interfaces
xenbr1        8000.feffffffffff    no        vifwint01
                           vifvlad01
                           vifneww01
                           peth1
                           vif0.1
If I start a Linux based domU that works fine on the same machine so I 
thought it was something to do with qemu but I can't see any errors in 
the logs.
I reset the xenstore via
rm /var/lib/xenstored/tdb
reboot
but still no go. I'm now pretty much out of ideas and would like some 
guidance on where to look / relevant logs snippits I can post 
Thanks

I did not build the hvmloader tool when originally building Xen 3.3.  
Once I built hvmloader and used the correct hvmloader in my vm config 
file, Windows 2003 booted normally on Xen.
