All right, I got a little bit further. Now the domain gets successfully 
created but the kernel dies immediately:

~# xm create -c bobek-x2
Using config file "/etc/xen/bobek-x2".
Started domain bobek-x2, console on port 9608
************ REMOTE CONSOLE: CTRL-] TO QUIT ********

************ REMOTE CONSOLE EXITED *****************
~#

Could someone advise me where is the very first entry point in the 
kernel that gets executed once the domain is created? Since there is no 
useful content in arch/xen/boot I'm somehow lost as to where the kernel 
starts.

Thanks for any pointers!
