Why not run it in fully virtualized mode instead of paravirtualized?
Does your CPU lack the instruction set needed for full virtualization
under Xen? I've never used Xen myself, followed it off and on and
at least for me it's never looked interesting enough to pull me away
from vmware. Now it looks like Red hat has woken up and seen it is
a dead end too and is moving to KVM as you mentioned.
