This was a simple one. As it turns out, xen does not support the AMD
K6-2 processor.

The problem: When grub attempts to boot xen, it hangs on a screen
that looks like this:
/*-------
Booting command list

Background:
This is a fresh Mandriva 2006 install that works with grub but not
xen. I tried the Mandriva xen packages, got the above result, removed
them, installed the latest binaries, and still get the same result.
The system uses a /boot partition out of necessity. It's grub config
is included below. It uses an AMD K6-2 450mhz processor with 128M
ram, recently tested with memtest86. I also included the fstab below.
Can you help me figure out what's going wrong? It seems that the xen
kernel isn't getting even an inch off the ground.
Thanks,
Michael
