Stubdomain startup timeout. Probably something wrong with that 'data'
domain which serves as a backend for your iso image.
Is the 'data' domain based on minimal template? If so, install perl
there. Also check if you have xen-blkback kernel module loaded.
If none of this helps, check /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log in data VM and
/var/log/xen/console/guest-w8-dm.log in dom0.
