Here is all of the info in one email that I have been able to acquire.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Tried figuring
out from the files, but no success. Seems as though another person on
the list has identical problem with Presario Pentium D.

Fowwlowing the instructions
http://www.xensource.com/files/xen_install_windows.pdf

During WinXP install, it gets to the Personalize your settings, I enter
by name, then lockup of domU.

This is Xen 3.0.3 with FC6 running 2.6.18xen kernel on Intel 2 core duo
7600.

One thing in the pdf above, it says to set acpi=0. If I do this, Windows
does not even start. 

The screen before the lockup where you enter time zone, etc, there are
two cursors, a white and block. The white, winxp, follows the black,
linux, but at variable distances. On the lockup screen, after entering
my name and it locks up (At least it does not lockup the whole machine
as in Suse 10.1) The windows cursor is frozen and no longer follows the
linux cursor. This is really strange. Any suggestions on what the
problem might be?

Here are the outputs from xm list, xm info and xm dmesg.

Here is the hvm file the virt-manager made. Also tried with vcpus=1,
same thing. Also tried with apic=0, then nothing works. Tried with
acpi=0, also nothing works.
