Did you look in http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps to follow the troubleshoot guide and capture some details? Do you get any details if you provide 'console=hvc0 debug loglevel=8' on the Linux line? And on the Xen hypervisor line youy have 'sync_console console_to_ring loglvl=all'? What hardware is this? Is there a reason for using acpi=ht? Hmm, this is not reassuring: (XEN) ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 9 (XEN) No IOAPIC for GSI 9 What are the arguments for the Linux command line? Have you added some extra ones?

This is a Intel D945GCLF2 Motherboard with 2 Atom CPUs. I have read in the net that my issue is related to acpi. So I have tried some options. My initial logfile was holding several attempts because I forgot to truncate it. I have attached one logfile with the boot options and the messages only from this attempt. A second file is attached with your requested options and the messages from this run.
Interesting. There is another bug with an Atom machine not booting either- Bug #745961 that has the same exact error: [ 0.143986] reserve RAM buffer: 00000001097be000 - 000000010bffffff (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (ff1d9724) (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#1: I found out that if I update the kernel to 3.2-rc1 it works just great.
Great news ! But how do I update the kernel to 3.2-rc1 ? I cannot find that version in the repos.
