I added vga=ask,keep to the kernel /xen.gz line and chose 363 for the 
mode, and *it boots*.

When using runlevel 3 it seems to perform as if it were bare metal; 
however, runlevel 5 runs extremely slow, desktop fonts don't render but 
application fonts do.

It took about 5 minutes to load Thunderbird so I could send this email.

So it does seem to be vga related.

Thanks, all,
