Actually, I had started with that. My initrd line was a module rather than initrd. But with that the booting just hangs. I tried it again to give u exact output: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to do a reboot to get out of this.
Any more suggestions that I can try?
Thanks for your help

 Hi Jayesh,
 You want:
 title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /boot/xen-3.0.0.gz console=vga
 module /boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.12.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro
 console=tty1 console=ttyS0,38400 quiet splash
 module /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xen0.img
 initrd is strictly for the Linux boot protocol whereas Xen uses
 multiboot. With multiboot, there's no difference between the
 initrd or
 the dom0 other than order (they're both just modules).
