I'm attempting to use an older machine to do some Xen testing, and
I haven't been making a whole lot of progress. If I select the Xen
entry from my Grub menu, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then
the machine reboots back to the power on self test (POST) and repeats
the process. It doesn't seem to show any error messages or any
indication as to what is wrong. It just reboots. Does anyone have any
insight as to what would be causing this to happen? I'm successfully
using Xen on a fair number of other machines, but this one has me
stumped. A Linux pv_ops kernel, without Xen, boots fine.
I've tried with both my own compile of Xen 4.0.0rc9 and a recent
Debian (testing; xen-hypervisor-3.4-i386_3.4.3~rc3-1_i386.deb) version
of Xen in /boot and get the same results for both.

Here's my grub2 menu entry for Xen (in /boot/grub/grub.cfg):
menuentry "Xen 4.0.0rc9 / Debian kernel 2.6.32.11" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,2)
multiboot /xen-4.0.0-rc9.gz dummy=dummy dom0_mem=384M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.11 dummy=dummy
root=UUID="6c2a3133-5d8d-4555-8237-8b0db9036ef9" ro console=tty0
module /initrd.img-2.6.32.11
}
Output of sfdisk -uS -l /dev/hda:
Disk /dev/hda: 7476 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System
/dev/hda1 * 63 3903794 3903732 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 3903795 4192964 289170 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 4192965 120101939 115908975 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda4 0 - 0 0 Empty
hda1 [hd0,1] is a test partition for DOS/Windows stuff, hda2 [hd0,2] is
/boot (where vmlinuz and xen reside) and hda3 [hd0,3] is broken down by
LVM into several volumes: root, swap, usr, var, tmp
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
