[Xen-users] Cannot boot to cdrom (or file) using xl create for XP hvm

[Skippy VonDrake <skippyvondrake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Trying to build an XP hvm using a compiled "xenified" kernel
(3.5.4) but having no success reading the cdrom or an image
made from the install disk.

Error in vnc display:
  Booting from Cd-Rom...
  CDROM boot failure code : 0003
  Boot from CD-Rom failed: could not read the boot disk
  No bootable device. Powering off in 30 seconds.

Suggestions? I've used this XP install cd several times and know
it's good.
