Thanks, I'll dig through the logs in a bit and see if anything shows up.

I think so, the CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY thing is probably a
red-herring.

If you are able it would be useful to know if the tip of
xen-4.0-testing.hg (which is just about to become 4.0.2-rc1) works or
not. You would only need to build the hypervisor binary itself not all
the tools etc which is relatively straight forward. I can give more
detailed instructions if necessary.
