For the installation I tried to make on an Ubuntu I have followed a
tutorial whixh used yaird to generate the ramdisk image. Here is an excerpt
of what was said : You'll have to change the version of the kernel (it was
for a debian dom0)

We need a ramdisk for our new Xen kernel, therefore we do the following:

depmod 2.6.18-xen
apt-get install yaird

To create the ramdisk, we run

mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img- 2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen

The last command creates the ramdisk /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen.

Next we add our new kernel to Grub, our bootloader. We can do this with one
simple command:

update-grub

Now reboot the system:

shutdown -r now

Perhaps it will work for you ?

I have used these instructions in the past with much success. You should post specific errors are specific problems that we can comment on to try to help you further.

Regards,
Todd
