I assume you have something like this in your elilo.conf: 
 
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
append="com1=115200,8n1 -- xencons=ttyS0 console=ttyS0 ro" 
 
Older versions of elilo stuff the root= option in on the wrong side of 
the "--", passing the option to Xen instead of the Linux kernel.  The 
simple fix is to either update elilo or change elilo.conf to: 
 
append="com1=115200,8n1 -- root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 xencons=ttyS0 console=ttyS0 ro" 
 
(removing the separate root= line) 
 
Thanks,
