No... you haven't got the "linux" loading, neither the "modules" keywords.

On all my Debian masters, I have this :
> kernel        /xen-3.2-1-amd64.gz dom0_mem=300000
> module /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 root=/dev/sda2 ro panic=5 console=tty0
> module        /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64

So : one "kernel" line with the "/xen" loading, then _two_ "module" line with the "/vmlinuz" loading and the "/initrd.img" loading.

As for your second server :
> kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5
> module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/root
> module /initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5xen.img

    The first line load Xen and the second load Initrd ; where do you
    load Linux ?
    You should have :
    1 : kernel /path-to-xen
    2 : module /path-to-linux
    3 : module /path-to-initrd

Hi Olivier,

It is there:

title CentOS (2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen)
        root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe
        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.img
The 3rd line says
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe
