As Ian mentioned I expect booting -xen kernel instead of -xen0 should 
improve things, just make sure you generate an initramfs for that image.
vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen is 1.6MB, initrd.img-2.6.12.6-xen is 5.4MB and I'm 
faily sure I generated that with mkinitramfs though it's been quite a 
while so I may be forgetting.
My full time workstation is a laptop running Ubuntu 5.10 on Xen 3 so it 
definitely works.
