"Black Screen" when install WinXP

[TiagoCruz]

Binary package hint: xen-image-2.6.19-4-generic

I have one Xen 3.03 running on Dell Optiplex 745 (Intel Core Due). I'm using Ubuntu Feisty to do this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuFeisty

I have configured just to test one domU ubuntu 'edgy', with fluxbox and gnome, works as well.

After, I've tried trying to install WinXP, but don't works, always I got one blank screen after hardware detection.

I've tried too install using qemu "on hand" and after just boot using xen, but I got one "blank screen" again, after choice between "safe mode" or "normal mode"...

However, I've got one tarball from xensource.com and works as well:
http://xensource.com/download/dl_304tarballs.html => 32 bit SMP

So, I think that Ubuntu packages have some problem with this...

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?

I don't know, I use KVM instead since I never managed to make xen work on my
computer..
