I'm running Xen 3.2 on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) and am having trouble booting up a Debian Etch DomU.  It hangs at the end when it says "Starting periodic command scheduler: cron."
 
It's just completely frozen.  At one point I set it sit for a few hours and got back into the console and it said something about "time went backwards" but I used the extra="clocksource=jiffies" workaround, but it still hangs while it boots.
 
Here is my network-custom file:
 
#!/bin/sh
dir=$(dirname "$0")
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1
 
Here is my config file in /etc/xen:
 
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686"
memory=128
name="mail"
root="/dev/sda1 ro"
disk=["phy:vg0/mail_root,sda1,w"]
extra="4"
extra="clocksource=jiffies"
vif=["bridge=eth0"]
