Just for completeness, I downloaded the same kernel with no improvement.

Mine's pretty similar:

kernel = "/usr/xen/kernels/5.0/netbsd-INSTALL_XEN2_DOMU.gz"
memory = 256
name = "devel5"
cpu = -1   # leave to Xen to pick
nics = 1
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:50:02:f5, bridge=bridge0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/usr/xen/vnd/i386cd-5.0.iso,cd0a,r','phy:/dev/wd0g,wd0d,w' ]
extra = "bootdev=xbd0 -s -v"

Where do I get a 2.0.7 debug xen kernel?

xen# pkg_info -L xenkernel20
