[Xen-users] can't get past grub



The problem: when grub attempts to boot xen, it hangs on a screen that looks like this:

/*-------
Booting command list

kernel (hd0,0)/xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=64000
(Multiboot-elf, <0xsomeaddress:another:another>, shtab=0xsomeaddress, entry=0x100000)
module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0 root=/dev/hda5 ro console=tty0
  (Multiboot-module @ 0x194000, 0x4aea08 bytes)
------- */

Background:

This is a fresh Mandriva 2006 install that works with grub but not xen. I tried the Mandriva xen packages, got the above result, removed them, installed the latest binaries, and still get the same result.

The system uses a /boot partition out of necessity. It's grub config is included below. It uses an AMD K6-2 450mhz processor with 128M ram, recently tested with memtest86. I also included the fstab below.

Can you help me figure out what's going wrong? It seems that the xen kernel isn't getting even an inch off the ground.

Thanks,
Michael
