Uhm yeah. long live tab completion. I didnt even notice. The commandline
used was:

xenguest-install -n ftp.xtdnet.nl -f /children/ftp.xtdnet.nl/ftp.xtdnet.nl.img --nographics -p -l ftp://dl.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/fedora/core/6/i386/os/ -x "noacpi noapic" -r 1024


(the noapic noacpi was a test in the hope tht it would fix my issue).

Also, I can still do xm shutdown and then I see the system halting.
