 I am having problem (previously discussed at 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2005-12/msg00533.html) 
getting Xen started on Ubuntu 5.10 (I did it successfully on RHFC4). The 
boot process freezes after loading initrd. Ubuntu doesn't have mkinitrd 
by default, so I am using mkinitramfs. I don't know if it is initrd that 
is causing problem. So if I could boot without using initrd, that might 
solve my problem. Right now if I don't use initrd the boot process just 
freezes.
 
As Ian mentioned I expect booting -xen kernel instead of -xen0 should 
improve things, just make sure you generate an initramfs for that image. 
vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xen is 1.6MB, initrd.img-2.6.12.6-xen is 5.4MB and I'm 
faily sure I generated that with mkinitramfs though it's been quite a 
while so I may be forgetting. 
My full time workstation is a laptop running Ubuntu 5.10 on Xen 3 so it 
definitely works.
