I've given it another try (since my previous test was with a non-default
kernel config file) but it still works for me (boot with /lib/tls in place).
When it hangs, is Xen still alive, i.e. does pressing ctrl-a 3 times
switch to Xen's console?  Can you give some more information, like what
CPU you're using and can you find out what the last version was which
worked?  Does 2.0-testing work?
