No problem. I'm always in hurry as well.
Thank you for the time you spend in this list

You're right. As stated here:
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/man/xl.cfg.5.html
hap is True if supported.
Also, apic is True by default
So, I've commented the "hap" and "apic" elements. No problem encountered.

Yes. The installation GUI appears, then I move the mouse and the GUI
disappears and I remains with the above error message.

Not so much, sorry! I'm overloaded of work and I have some deadlines
for my research.
Anyway, I can perform some test if you need in the next few days, at
least until I start my experiments.
In fact, from that moment, I can use the experimental testbed only for
stuff related to research experiments.
