And this is with Xen 4.2 I presume? What does your guest config look like and
if you do 'xl -vvvv create ' can you attach the output?

Also can you provide the full guest bootup log (xl console output).

So a 16GB guest right?

I am still puzzled why the 'e820_host=1' option did not trigger for you.
Did you also have 'pci=[blabla]' in your guest config or did you do
it via pci hotplugging?

Thanks.
