> kernel /xen-2.0.6.gz dom0_mem=524288 noreboot init=/sbin/init > module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda2 ro console=tty0Your init= option wants to be on the "module" line, not the "kernel" line. You need to pass the init option to Linux, not to Xen. Also, check that /sbin/init exists on the partition on /dev/hda2.

You appear to have a separate partition for /boot with your kernels on it: this is not going to have /sbin/init on it, so you''re probably pointing Linux at the wrong partition with that root= directive. Try booting native Linux, and reviewing the output of "mount" to see what partition / is on, then make the root= directive point to it. You shouldn''t need to pass init= anywhere (but if you did, it would need to be on the "module" line, for Linux, since the error comes from Linux and not from Xen itself).
