Ah, I didn't get that from your post - must have been tired.

I'd say that depends on your choice of hypervisor.  VB and VMWare both
have fairly limited means to debug a faulty installation.  When I
installed my VB Windows guest, I had to play with the controls to get
them right for a boot to work.  Then, when I installed a CentOS guest,
I had opposite problems (IIRC, ACPI had to be off for Windows, which
VB already knew and said so, and on for CentOS, which I found using
Google - see? I take my own advice...sometimes.  :-).

Xen is not exclusively Ubuntu, but as I said, expertise here seems to
vary wildly.  When I was using CentOS, there were a fair number of
xen-knowledgeable people on that list, though I haven't seen much
about it recently.  You could try there - they are somewhat tolerant
of "other OS" questions if there is any applicability in CentOS, but
they tend to get more mature questions, too.  Of course, CentOS is
still on the 2.6.18 kernel (until 6.0 comes out, and that's running
about 6 months late), so YMMV.  You can also try the Fedora and Debian
lists - they may know more about current xen efforts.
