that is weird. are you sure you installed grub-legacy correctly? removed grub2
packages and used grub-install to update mbr and update-grub to update
menu.lst?

I have complete output from bios to kernel to getty on serial console, but I
get stuck without any messages from xen. All I get is the grub message booting
xen image .... and that's it.

I strongly feel that it is problem with grub2 which bothers me, because grub
legacy can't boot from lvm and I'm using lvm everywhere therefor I'd like to
use grub2. So far, I'm not having any problems anywhere except with this
single server. I planned to build a few virtual servers, but since the problem
seem to be with machines that have more than 4GB ram, I'll look into kvm, if
it solves my problems.

But I'd love to solve this. There are bound to be people running the same
setup and if it works for them than there is a way to do it:)
