Hi Jan,

I tried to reproduce this under VMware Workstation 4.0.1, but I have no 
trouble booting XenoLinux using the exact configuration you give below.  
I am guessing that a complete boot failure would most likely be caused 
by Grub loading the kernel incorrectly?  I attached a screenshot in case 
you see anything extremely different.

Thanks,
