Activate caps lock before it is displayed. If this doesn't help, additionally hold shift while booting. I tried this but it's quite hard to get pressed the key(s) during the very short period the VM-BIOS is shown but I think I was fast enough several times. Anyway it didn't help!
Now I tried to make an installation directly with Qemu 0.81 (the Qemu-version in Xen is quite old) and there it works. I also get the green lines on the top of the screen and the rest is white, but only for a second, then comes the "international welcome preboot-screen" and after that the boot-menu!
So it seems that my problem is more Xen, specificly Qemu-related!
See bug 175473. There is presently a limitation in the Xen guest when running on Intel VMX ('Vanderpool'). Steffen
