Would you go a little into detail here, please?

I have the Fedora7 DVD iso image mounted to /loop

Here's my config file:
kernel='/loop/images/xen/vmlinuz'
ramdisk='/loop/images/xen/initrd.img'
# this is an ext3 sparsefile, if that matters, I think not
disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/f7.img,hda1,w' ]
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
cpus = '3'
builder = 'linux'
name = 'F7'
vif = [ '' ]
localtime = 0
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
extra = ' TERM=xterm root=/dev/hda1 text'

The domU seems to boot up, but stops with these messages:
...

That's it. After that, nothing happens.

Any hints?
