at this stage you need to install/start VMs.
to do so, xenclient use xenvm.

I suggest having a look at the xenvm.README in the toolstack/xenvm 
directory to see how to use it. there's example configs at the end of 
the README, and all options you need is documented. Also it look quite 
similar sometimes to a xend config file.

We don't have a comprehensive hardware list for now, but for now a good 
rule of thumb is having a intel graphics card. a good thing to have is 
VT-d too.
For other graphics cards, IIRC, we are waiting them to release more 
friendly driver. also ATI got probably a tiny leap over Nvidia since we 
have access to more documentation.

it's probably not related to the nvidia card, but i have no idea what it 
 is. Listing the hardware you're using and the grub configuration you 
have would probably help us to fix it.
