[COLUG] Windows under XEN fails

In trying to install Windows 2003 under it hands early during install.

My steps:
   * Installed CentOS5 x86_64 version on a HP DL385-G2 machine (1 dual 
core AMD64 processor, 2G RAM)
   * yum update (completed), rebooted
   * changed SELINUX to permissive, rebooted
   * Created a XEN guest via virt-manager, started installing Windows 
2003 sp1

At this point Windows boots from the install cdrom and goes through 
driver detection.  The last message says its starting Microsft Windows. 
  This is after the F6 prompt and before the first options presented on 
screen.  It seems to hang at this point with the CPU maxed out.

Am I missing something?  Shouldn't this work?
