Hi all,

I have recently installed FC5 along with xen via yum.  I've successfully rebooted using the dom0 ( 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5) kernel, started xend, and trying to start my first domU after following the instructions in the user guide.  However, I keep receiving a kernel panic and an error about XENBUS timeout.  Any help greatly appreciated as I am stumped.  Should I be using the provided initrd?

Below I have included output of xm create, xend.log, /etc/fstab in the vm, and the vm conf file.
