Xen users - Aug 2012 - Windows Servier 2008 domU on xen crashes system

Installed xen on debian Squeeze, amd64. I have a domU with Squeeze working
fine. Tried Windows Server 2008 by using a couple different cookbook
installs, all fail. As soon as I start my windows guest, the entire machine
crashes. My config file is:

name = ''windowstest''
kernel = ''/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader''
builder = ''hvm''
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/qemu-dm''
memory = 2048
shadow_memory = 8
vcpus=1
acpi=1
apic=1

# Choose a better mac address
vif = [ ''ip=192.168.77.14, mac=00:11:22:33:44:55'' ]

## The VM has the following block devices
#  - A boot disk with a single partition for the OS, swap, and programs
#  - The installation DVD
#  - The PV drivers CD
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vg0/windows,hda,w'',
''file:/opt/isos/win-srv-2008.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'',
''file:/opt/isos/win2k8drivers.iso,hdd:cdrom,r'']

# Boot from the DVD first
boot=''dc''

usbdevice=''tablet''

## Use VNC for the console.
vnc=1
vncunused=0
vnclisten = ''127.0.0.1''
vncdisplay=2
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''agoodpassword''

vncviewer=0
sdl=0

stdvga=0
serial=''pty''
ne2000 = "0"

on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot   = ''restart''
on_crash    = ''restart''

My xend-debug.log has lots of lines like the following:

cat: /sys/bus/scsi/devices/target0:0:0/model: No such file or directory


Those files are actually at /sys/bus/scsi/devices/target0:0:0/0:0:0/
Not finding a way to correct this behavior, not sure if it is the problem
or a symptom of the problem.

By any chance, are these AMD 62xx CPUs?  I have PowerEdge R815s, and Xen
4.0.1 that ships with Squeeze crashes instantly if you start any HVM guest
(Windows or otherwise).  Xen 4.1 doesn''t have the same issue.

Mark
