Good morning,

After doing some checks and debugs about this problem, I can conclude =
that : under Xen 4.1.3 on Debian Wheezy it works properly although in =
XCP1.6 if you remove the cd drive from the vm works too. I'm going to =
describe the two test environments have used for debugging this  :

ENV 1.- XCP 1.6 XEN 4.1.3 + FREEBSD 9.1-RC3 :

As you can see with an iso image mounted and without it, the boot =
process gets stuck there=85.. (I paste here both screenshot location).

                        =20
      =20
I have placed here two examples, with an empty (but existing) cd drive =
and with a iso mounted in the drive.=20

BUT If I do a in the XCP shell :=20

xe vm-cd-remove uuid=3D08aec342-9572-8690-5e58-91d1b1f0aab2 =
cd-name=3Dxs-tools.iso

The drive is being removed from the vm and it boots normally.  This is =
the workaround I'm using for the moment.

Another debugging check I have done too is to apply this patch (although =
it's just for testing purposes and for checking if cd drive works) to =
see how the drive behaves after booting but without stopping in that =
loop of the FreeBSD kernel source code.

}

After applying this patch, kernel boots under XCP 1.6Beta and cd can be =
mounted in the shell (should say I have not noticed about IRQ problems =
after this). It seems like FreeBSD domU is not able to continue the boot =
process  because it's not able to finish up some test related to THIS =
(the cd drive) device setup (IRQ assigning tests I assume concretely)  =
that should succeed before being able to continue the boot process.

So, summarizing : =20

Seems like under Debian with the same version of Xen works properly, so=85=
 I have taken a look at the patches applied to Xen sources for composing =
the Debian package and concretely one of them drew my attention :=20



If someone at Citrix or XEN development team is reading this could tell =
us something?. Could this give a clue for solving the problem?. I can =
further investigate too if no one knows about it=85 but I assume this =
should be much easier and faster to if could be checked by some of the =
Xen development staff.=20

Let us know something please,
Very thankful,
