Derailing from the topic a little bit -- Ian, perhaps it is a good idea
to suggest this (i.e. check the logs in /var/log/xen/) together with the
"Boot loader didn't return any data!" message? We see that many people
don't understand the error and think, "if the boot loader didn't return
any data then the problem must be the boot loader!"

How about a more descriptive error, for example:

Error: Boot loader didn't return any data. This probably means the VM
has crashed. Details can usually be found in /var/log/xen/.

Your thoughts on this suggestion? Do share. :-)

Mark
