Thanks for the suggestion. I am already using your config though so its
not clear to me if its a config issue. Once I got that working and
booting I keep getting null pointer dereferences in some other code
thats not xen related. The only reason it might be affected by xen is
because its complaining about something with the PCI space. The error
text is below.

uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: UHCI Host Controller
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: irq 17, io base 0x0000ff00
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: host system error, PCI problems?
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: host controller halted, very bad!
uhci_hcd 0000:00:1a.1: HC died; cleaning up
