So maybe your remote debugger did not connect yet?
 
 As you may know, you need to enable serial driver in HVM domU config file, then forward this console to a TCP port (possibly), then connect to this TCP port from your remote debugging machine, then use another software there to show this tcp connection as a serial port to Windows. Then you'll connect to this serial port from Windbg and you can type (g) to continue the boot process on your DomU.

I have successfully installed and booted Vista Ultimate in Xen (3.1.2, onFedora Core 8).  However, I want to use a kernel debugger (windbg) which
 requires me to boot Vista in debug mode.  To boot into debug mode, I hold F8
 and select the appropriate option.  This, however, doesn't work.  Vista
 doesn't boot and all I get is a big black window.
 
 I've also tried modifying the boot options with the command "bcdedit -debug
 on" but that doesn't work either.
 
 I'm pretty new to Xen so I'm not sure what output/files would be useful to
 include here.
 
 Thanks for any help!
