I tried to start this ProxyVM a few more time, and without any luck. Then to start some normal VMs (not ProxyVMs) and they all started fine. Then I created another ProxyVM (but this time based on the default template) and it started fine. Then I tried to start this original ProxyVM and... now it stared fine! Sigh...

I added tsc_mode=2 to my /usr/share/qubes/vm-templates -- sadly this didn't help, I just tried to start another NetVM (usbvm) and it hangs at startup (nothings appears in xl console).

Just verified this also happens for regular AppVM. Changing the title.

Actually no, the AppVM finally started -- was delayed probably because of another VM was failing to start (ProxyVM). So, it seems this ticket is indeed specific to Net- and Proxy- VMs only...

Can you attach "xenstore-ls -fp" and "xl list" output when VM is hanged? And if domain is in "c" state - also xl dump-core...

I've hit this when xen memory was really fragmented, so it looks like a duplicate of #342.

With earlyprintk=xen confirmed:
Kernel panic - not syncing: DMA(-12): Failed to exchange pages allocated for DMA with Xen! We either don't have the permission or you do not have enoughfree memory under 4GB!

The VM is a ProxyVM, although this might be irrelevant.
This time there is no message from xl:
just the domain is never started (e.g. xl console shows nothing).
