Shouldn't you have a "root (hdX,Y)" here?

As pointed out in the directions, you need to load an initrd after the 
XenLinux kernel with a 'module' directive, instead of an 'initrd' directive.

The only thing I can come up with is that either (a) it doesn't like 
your hardware, or (b) it's picking up the serial port as a serial 
console (I've never seen it do that, and I didn't think the hypervisor 
would auto-pickup a serial port...); what kind of hardware are you 
booting it on? (Processor type, chipset type, amount of memory, etc.)
