I was expirencing some hard lock ups too but after changing to xen 3.0.2 and installing: dev86, libvncserver, and the SDL libraries everything ran very smoothly.

HVM is still new in Xen, so the unstable changesets are going to be
pretty variable as to what works and what's broken. I think it's fair to
say that you need to PICK CAREFULLY to find a really good changeset.

Check the Xen devel mailing list for test-results to see if there is a
recent changeset that looks more hopefull.

But certainly here at AMD, we're still fixing things in SVM-code, and
I've only recently fixed some bugs that were in shared HVM-code, and I
don't think those are the last ever bugs to be found.

ACPI can certainly make things worse, but I think the APIC emulation is
decent right now (although I may be wrong on that).

What type of domain did you try? Windows, Linux or something else? Did
you have a serial console attached, and if so, did you see anything
printed that may give a clue to what went wrong?
