When I built Xen 3.3 from source, I had a similar problem getting 
Windows 2003 to start.  My Windows 2003 HVM worked fine on Xen 3.0, but, 
not 3.3.
I did not build the hvmloader tool when originally building Xen 3.3.  
Once I built hvmloader and used the correct hvmloader in my vm config 
file, Windows 2003 booted normally on Xen.
