OK, thanks.

Could you try booting with the debug options described at
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XenParavirtOps#Maybe_it_is_something_obvious.3F_How_do_I_make_the_bootup_more_verbose.3F
Perhaps that will tell us something. Using a Serial console to capture
the full logs would also be very useful if you have the equipment
available.

Also would it be possible to try the 4.1 hypervisor from Wheezy on this
machine?

Thanks,
Ian.
