That's very odd!  Xen shouldn't really make a difference here.

Can you look at the output of "mount" and check whether your root 
filesystem is mounted readonly for some reason. Could you post it to the 
list, please?
Can you post the disk lines out of your config file?

You can't just start an Xserver in a Xen domain since there isn't (yet) a 
virtual framebuffer device. The recommended way of doing this is to use 
remote X or VNC, as you would for graphical access to a physically separate 
machine.
