Note also that the last successful run (which was a while ago due to a configuration issue) used the same xen and kernel as the now-failing environments.

It works fine for me .. you might consider using CentOS-6.6 and not
CentOS-6.4 .. also, we now use a 3.10 kernel and the latest version of
xen is 4.2.5 in the /6.6/xen4/ repo.

Use this link:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart

BUT .. it seems to be a hardware/driver issue.

Thanks,
