Can you send us the boot log from Xen (I guess only piossible if you
have a serial line attached). Apart from that, what is the last line
that Xen outputs before rebooting? It sounds like you do not get as
far as actually trying to run DOM0 so it is unlikely anything to do
with your DOM0 configuration.

One thing is that I fixed a nasty DOM0-building bug yesterday. All the
repositories (2.0, 2.0-tetsing, unstable) have the fix so you may want
to get yourself a fresh tree and try again. :-)
