I'm guessing that you haven't booting into the Xen kernel directly and
it is a grub2 issue. (you can search xen.markmail.org for related
issues - let us know if you are unable to find anything)

If not, another thing you can look into is making sure /proc/xen is
mounted properly.

Post the output of uname -a and dmesg. You can also go into the grub
settings, turn off the splash, turn on verbose and watch the Xen
hypervisor and dom0 load.

Also of note, upstream Linux 3.x kernels boot Dom0 now and Ubuntu
unstable is packaging them. You could try to grab one of those and
boot from it.

Thanks,
Todd
