Hmm, looks like your missing an initrd (and need one). Oddly, apt-get
should have generated one for you.

Does an initrd.img-2.6-xen exist in boot? If so add it like so:

title           Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel          /boot/xen-3.1.gz dom0_mem=262144
module          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=/dev/sda5 ro console=tty0
module          /boot/initrd.img-2.6-xen

It will probably be initrd.img-2.6.24.xx-xen , ls will turn it up.

If one does not exist, make one via :

mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6-xen 2.6-xen 

Note, 2.6-xen may not work, you will need to see what (exact) version of
the kernel you are using. If you see , for
instance /boot/linux-2.6.24-3-xen , you would specify 2.6.24-3-xen.

Most likely, ext3 (or whatever file system /dev/sda5 is) is not built
into your kernel, and you need to load that module before it can be
mounted and used.
