[kernel-xen] Newest Xen not booting Windows templates

[Steven Haigh]

Well, all the info I can find seems to point to this being something with grub4dos failing. As this has nothing to do with
hvmloader - and that your screenshots are from what looks to be a VNC session (ie only available AFTER the DomU has started), then
I don't think this is a Xen problem.

Sure, something is not right, but I think its with the guest OS or bootloader, not Xen itself.
