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.
