I've seen this happen on some machines with hyperthreading (but not
others) -- booting with "nosmp" works fine until a domain is created,
and then the machine locks up.  Disabling hyperthreading in the BIOS
setup caused the same problem.

One thing to try: typing control-A three times on the console, to
switch the input to Xen, and then 'h' to list the functions available.
If that works, it means that at least Xen is still doing something and
can talk to the console.

(C k)))))))    '((#\J #\d #\D #\v #\s) (#\e #\space #\a #\i #\newline)))))
