Hmmm... I'll see if I can test amd64 again tonight. I've only been
testing with i386 recently.

XenShutdown will probably fail if XenPCI isn't running.

Yep. If XenPCI isn't working then nothing else will work.

Probably 0x7B which means boot device inaccessible. This presumably
means that xenhide is working and hiding your qemu devices, and because
xenpci isn't working you have nothing to boot off.

I'd like to find out if it's an amd64 problem or a Germen language
problem. What media are you using? This seems to be a big enough problem
that it's probably worth investigating... I have installed Windows
enough times that I shouldn't even need to read the screens :)
