[meta-virtualization] xendomains init script from xen recipe hangs

[Chris Patterson]

Try changing up the arguments to xl - remove the quiet arg and add the -v /
-d flags:

e.g.: xl -v create -d vm.cfg

If there are no hints in the extra output - then check out the logs in
/var/log/xen/* see if there are any clues?
