Check /var/log/xen/ and see if there are any log files relating to the domU 
you're trying to start that would help to figure out what it's behaving this 
way.  Also, please check "xm log" and "xm dmesg" output to see if those areas 
indicate any problems.

Second, try leaving out the "ip=" in the vif configuration.  I'm pretty sure 
setting the IP address in the domU configuration does not work for HVM domUs - 
this only works for PV domUs, since the driver is actually aware of the fact 
that it's running on Xen.

Also, what Xen version, and what Linux distribution are you running?
