So I've tried commenting out the panic() call to see how much further 
I can get and fiddling with various arguments to the hypervisor but I 
assume I'm hitting interrupt routing issues as it will get further 
through the boot with pauses at various device identification steps 
eventually complaining about lost interrupts from piixide0 and 
disabling various usb buses and then hang.

I'd really appreciate some suggestions on how to attack this, as if I 
can't get this going I'll shortly have to go find another Dom0 OS and 
I'd rather not have to do that.

cheers
