I see it start to boot the kernel.
Then the virtual console shows that the DomU kernel panic'd.
It looks like this

I found out that this issue is solvable by entering "nomxt" on the
kernel boot line in the DomU grub.conf.
Apparently RH7.2 used MXT (memory compression technology) by default,
but the Xen HVM bios doesn't work well with that.
Now I ran into a different RH72 HVM DomU kernel hanging issue...
after the kernel seems to load OK, it gets to the part where it is
waiting for the hard disk and does this:

hd0: C/H/S=761/0/63 from BIOS ignored

Then it hangs right here.
I give up, going to use Vmware ESX server instead.
