25 This probably has to do with your kernel configuration. It's looks like
26 a typical boot error message, Xen or no Xen. Verify that:
27
28 * The kernel has the correct hard disk drivers compiled in
29 * The kernel has the correct filesystem drivers compiled in
30 * You are specifying the correct root device
31 * Your root device contains a valid "/" filesystem.
32
33 I would probably check in that order.
34
35 Also, you are using "/" for the Xen entry but "/boot" for the other one.
36 It probably makes not difference but it would be nice to be consistent.
