Not loading kernel and hang in the middle.

I need to correct my statement just a tad, xen seems to hang on trying to mount root, not boot. I think that my configuration
picks up it's kernel and initrd from /boot on Dom0

The .cfg file for the DomU points to:
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-686'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686'
and these are in Dom0s /boot.

DomU's /boot only contains:
config-2.6.26-2-xen-686  System.map-2.6.26-2-xen-686
