Further testing (haven't done the extra recommended things yet).
xendom0-105/xen-3.9.3 Success. This works but hardware virtualization exhibits the same issues with WinXP as the xendom0-97/xen-4.0.0 combo. The configs are identical except that qemu-dm is in /usr/lib64/xen/bin whereas with xen-4.0.0 it
lives in /usr/lib/xen/bin (i.e. changed in the xm create file).
So these work for me:
xendom0-97/xen-4.0.0
xendom0-105/xen-3.9.3
This doesn't:
xendom0-105/xen-4.0.0
Here's the grub menu file (you are mind readers! - as you can see nomodeset! The machine is not running gnome or kde desktops. It's pretty much headless):
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
