So remove:
bootloader='/usr/bin/pygrub'
and add
kernel='/boot/vmlinuz-<your dom0 xen kernel version>' (found in /boot) ramdisk='/boot/initrd-<your dom0 xen ramdisk version>' (found in /boot)
I tried this a couple of ways. If I add just the kernel file, and not the parameters, like so:
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5xen" ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5xen.img"
It starts booting, but then dies with:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
If I add the "ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00" to the kernel line, I either get a kernel not found message (if the parameteres are inside the quotation marks), or an invalid parameter message (if outside the quotes). I tried adding:
root="/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00"
(with and without a "ro" at the end), and it still boots the kernel but then panics. Which is what I'm starting to do! :)
Thanks again. Full console output from a boot below, in case it helps.
