Yes, Pasi

 I've loaded F11 DomU manually and changed timeout=5 then shutdown DomU and started smoothly via virt-manager.

Thanks again.
Boris.

What do you have in "xm log" ? Is the last line about running pygrub?

I'm seeing an issue with F11 domU where the domU grub.conf contains
timeout=0 and that causes pygrub to get stuck and thus prevents the domU
from starting.. changing to timeout=5 fixes the problem.

I'm going to debug pygrub later today.. I believe it's a bug in pygrub.

I can't test HVM guests on my testbox, it doesn't have VT support in the CPU.
