There is 256MB of physical RAM in the machine.

Here is the GRUB entry:

title Xen / Xenolinux 2.4.22
        kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 ser_baud=115200 noht
        module /xenolinux.gz root=/dev/sda4 ro console=tty0

We have also tried using hda0 and hda1 instead of sda4 as we weren't sure
what that meant.

The last few lines of the error message are:

megaraid: v1.18d (release date: Wed Aug 7 18:51:51 EDT 2002)
megaraid: no BIOS enabled
device eth0 opened and ready for use

Could not set up dom0 guest OS
Aieee! CPU0 is toast.


Please let us know if you need more of the error message, and thanks again
for your help. Also, if you need more of the error message, is there any way
to keep it from rebooting after only 5 seconds? It is difficult to copy a
lot down in that small window.

Please post to this list the last several lines of boot messag, and
the GRUB menu entry for XenoLinux.

There could be various reasons for this error. Before having further
information, let's try the simplest one:

How much physical memory in total does your machine have?
How much physical memory have you assigned to Domain0 in the
GRUB menu entry?
