[Xen-users] Problem booting into Xen kernel

I''m having a problem booting into the Xen kernel. The server is a HP
DL385 Dual-Opteron with 4GB of RAM. The OS is CentOS 4.2 64-bit for
AMD64. I have successfully installed Xen via the shell script method.
After rebooting into the Xen kernel, I get the following boot messages
and the server just freezes:

<snip>
Enabling SMP...
Brought up 2 CPU''s
Initializing CPU#1
checking if image is initramfs... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 3668k freed
Grant table initialized
NET: Registered protocol family 16
PCI: Using configuration type 1


And that''s it. The freeze occurs right after the PCI message is echoed
to the screen. Any ideas?

PS: The Xen kernel seems to not honor the "panic=xx" attribute. When
this freeze occurs, it requires a power-off/power-on sequence.
