First of all, if  I'm not  mistaken mkinitramfs is better than mkinitrd,
so try using this one instead. The second error I think it's related to
PAE not being enabled in you custom kernel, so switch it on in:

Processor type and features >> MTRR
    

MTRR?  That's a different config setting, but it shouldn't matter here.  The 
important setting is the high memory support, which needs to be set to 64GB.

  
I didn't know what I was thinking, that was quite a slip-up. I meant to say "High Memory Support".
  
That's because you have to have PAE enabled in XEN and in you dom0 kernel.

Installation is not a piece of cake, so take it easy and with time
you'll sea how good it works.
    

I'm glad it's working for you :-)
  

Thanks
Another good way to try Xen out is to install RHEL 5 / CentOS 5, or Fedora, or 
OpenSuse, or SLES - all these integrate at least some support for Xen out of 
the box.  If you want a livecd you could try VMKNOPPIX (this also 
demonstrates other virtualisers, all on a KNOPPIX-based livecd).

Cheers,
Mark

  
You can get XEN 3.0 out of the box in Ubuntu 7.04, and If I'm not mistaken Ubuntu 7.10 will support xen 3.1.
