Hi Rune,

I've only run 1.0 but I use grub and may have some ideas.  The kernel 
and module instructions may require a full path.  Also, df -k shows 
/dev/hda1 as /boot.  You need to specify where / lives.  I'm guessing 
it's /dev/hda2.  If so, try this in your grub.conf file.

   root(hd0,0)
   kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 watchdog noreboot com1=115200 noht
   module /boot/xenolinux.gz root=/dev/hda2 ro console=tty0

Hope that solves the problem.
