It certainly is.

I've just discovered a similar problem occurs with Ubuntu 9.10. Here it 
hangs immediately after:
  Initializing cgroup subsys net_cls

I think this is around the point where it probes what CPUs are available 
and what their features are.
I should point out we haven't had any problem with Win 2k8 R2 Web on Xen 
3.2 on other hardware. We're running it in a couple of DomU's on a 
Supermicro 6025B-URB with a pair of Xen E5420's. Could there be some 
feature of the E5520 CPUs that is being exposed to DomU's but that 
shouldn't be?
I tried Xen 3.4.2 downloaded directly from xen.org. This is even worse -- 
we boot images off the network to do installs, but on 3.4.2 gPXE simply 
hangs, then fills the screen with white.
