It will never reach the hypervisor ie. fully load to the hypervisor. It
initializes some of /boot/xen.gz and then restart occurs. Text scrolls way
too fast so I can't get anything out of it.

Of course that MB does not have serial port and neither my other computer
so I cannot provide you a log according to
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console ...

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-05/msg00436.html did not
help me much neither :(

PS. I had no issues on my AMD 1090T/Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB but wanted to
try out pass through feature (7970 to VM) with the newer AMD hardware but
experienced nothing but horror so far.
