[Xen-devel] Xen not booting on debian

["Andrew Brampton" <a.brampton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm new to Xen, and I'm no linux expert so I hope this question isn't too 
newbish. I have been following the installation guide here: 
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/readmes/user/ but now I've 
hit a problem.
I have a Debian Testing install with a 2.4.27-1-386 kernel and installed the 
binaries of xen-2.0.3. I then edited my grub/menu.lst file to add this:
title Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.10
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072
 module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
#  initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386
 boot

Xen 2.0 appears on the boot menu, but when it attempts to boot it just hangs 
after displaying:
 Booting 'Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.10'

kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072
  [Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x4103c:0x3630c>, shtab=0x178078, 
entry=0x100000]
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0
  [Multiboot-module @ 0x179000, 0x408178 bytes]
boot

After that it doesn't appear to do anything, I'm unsure what to try now, is 
there a log file I can check? or some other option I can try?.
I did modify the menu.lst a few times trying different combinations. If I 
added the initrd option then grub fails with a error:
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386
Error 19: Linux kernel must be loaded before initrd

I also tried compiling Xen from source, which built & installed fine, but 
still I have the same problem.
Has anyone got any tips where I'm going wrong? I presume I've got a simple 
typo somewhere and its nothing complex. If you need more information I'm 
happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance
Andrew
