These domUs worked fine on earlier versions of Xen. I searched around a lot and found a few other people with the same problem, but no answers. In the end I discovered that these domUs were using the linux-image-virtual kernel package instead of the more usual linux-image-generic. I installed linux-image-generic and uninstalled linux-image-virtual, and then the affected domUs would boot. I note also that I have some domUs with Ubuntu 12.04.01 using linux-image-virtual and these are okay. So I assumed whatever problem there was with that kernel was rectified by the time of the 12.04.01 release. I hope that helps you. Cheers, Andy
