Xen users - Apr 2006 - problems with grub and fedora core 4 booting xen

I installed the xen 2.6 binary tarball on my Linux 2.6 Fedora Core x86
system and added the entry to the grub.con file.  I am still not able to
get it up and working. It keeps restarting itself during the boot
process.

 

I''ve managed to capture the contents of the boot at the end before it
restarts:

 

error opening /dev/console

error dup2''ing fd of 0 to 0

error dup2''ing fd of 0 to 1

error dup2''ing fd of 0 to 2

unmounting old /proc

unmounting old /sys

switchroot mount failed :22

Kernel panic - not synching - Attempted to kill init!!
