FreeBSD DomU: Upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0

[G VM]

This is my config file with which it fails:



name = "prod1"
uuid = "25c2ae8fad757300339f0a8dd0adcba0"
maxmem = 500
memory = 500
vcpus = 1
builder = "hvm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot = "c"
pae = 1
#acpi = 1
#apic = 1
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
# vncunused = 0
vncdisplay = "0"
disk = [ "file:/var/lib/xen/images/freebsd72-prod-new.img,hda,w", "phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r", "phy:/dev/loop1,hdd:cdrom,r" ]
serial = "pty"
vif=['bridge=br0,mac=00:16:ef:45:12:22']


 
I wonder if changing the last line would fix this.
Using centos 5 with these versions:

rpm -qa | grep xen
kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
xen-3.4.2-2.el5
kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.5-1.el5
xen-devel-3.4.2-2.el5
kmod-fuse-xen-2.7.4-21.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
xen-libs-3.4.2-2.el5



Linux hostname 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Dec 15 TIME TIMEZONE 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux



processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 15
model           : 67



As far as I have read this cpu should work.


Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
