Thanks for the success report.

I'm afraid LILO doesn't support the "Multiboot standard" which
the Xen image complies to. It turns out not to be a very widely
implemented standard...
We've used GRUB and kexec successfully (the latter required a
patch to kexec).
It should in principle be possible to package Xen as a standard
Linux-style bzImage, but we haven't implemented this, and it
wouldn't be as flexible[*].
Any reason why you can't use GRUB? It takes a bit of getting used
to, but its actually pretty good.

[*] I'm not sure that LILO can deal with multiple modules
(initrd's) so it might not be possible to give domain0 an initrd.
