Try booting xen with 'nosmp' (and maybe 'noapic') on the
'kernel  
(hd0,a)/xen.gz...' line in grub's menu.lst. Right now
NetBSD does not  
support multiple CPUs to well.

By all means try, but this *should* be irrelevant for a domU
with a
single vcpu (it matters if you're booting a NetBSD dom0).

now, I'm running a Debian dom0 and a NetBSD3.1-rc2 domU. 
Of course, the 
xen and the hardware is dual cpu;   I put nosmp in the root=
line on the 
domU config file.  It seems to work,  a nosmp NetBSD domu
with a SMP 
debian dom0.  I'd be interested in the details of how the
smp/nosmp nature 
of the xen kernel and the dom0 effect the domU, if anyone
has information 
or links.

I had xen2 working on a SMP kernel for dom0 but UP for domU
and it worked 
well enough. Netbsd on both. Not sure domU can be MP from
what I read.
