Fails-during-boot process may be a result of not having certain device
files present.  Ensure that you've got, in your Dom0 image, null, zero,
and console:

    cd <dom0 root>/dev
    for d null zero console; do MAKEDEV -x $d; done

Note that MAKDEV syntax varies somewhat among Linux distros, above
should work for RH / SuSE / CentOS, FC.

Alternatively, try booting single user or using 'init=/bin/bash' to see
what does / doesn't work in your dom0.  You can specify these by passing
arguments to the kernel via GRUB.
