Using the xenctx utility (in Dom0) you should be able to see where the guests are spinning (which is what I assume they are doing). >Then there's HVM and PV drivers I created an OpenSuSE 11.4 HVM DomU, >which worked OK.

That seems indeed necessary in this case (albeit I would have thought this gets taken care of automatically): You may need to make sure that the Xen blkfront driver loads before the ATA one that was servicing your disk before installing the KMP.
