Amos, thanks for your help!!

I install the libsdl1.2debian-alsa file

With the sdl=1 parameter in the configuration file recive the following error:

 

# more qemu-dm.4827.log
domid: 6
qemu: the number of cpus is 1
Watching /local/domain/6/logdirty/next-active

These directories are part of  xen-ioemu-3.0.3-1, have you got it installed?

The strange thing is both domian (domain0 and domainU) run!!
But the windows installation never begin.
I´m running version 3.1 of xen

In similar situation (Debian Etch but Xen 3.0.3, Windows XP Pro or Windows 2003) I got over the "missing console" problem by turning SDL on:
sdl=1
vnc=0

I'm not sure whether the ioemu package is available/required for 3.1, didn't get an answer for this question.

Oops. Just noticed you aleady use SDL. The missing library is in libsdl1.2debian-alsa (you could find it using apt-file, BTW).
