Aaah, you are using GRUB2, not GRUB!

Yup. I would suggest you add 'console=hvc0' so you can see the output.

Yes. But from your /boot/grub/menu.lst it looks that you do have the
xen-3.5.gz compiled? For details on how to do that look at the URL that
Boris sent - it is pretty comprehensive.

Also take a look at this (which Boris wrote as well):
http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/loading-xen-via-grub2-on-top-ubuntu-karmic-server-alpha-4/

That explains how to setup the GRUB2 entry correctly.

Boris, I am CC-ing you on this e-mail. Any suggestions on what else he
might need to do?
