Writing characters is what ultimately worked for me..

I've gotten things a little happier with Xen on the OQO.. I want to get it
working or give up entirely before I show my hand, though..

Using the grub config suggestion, I have an entry as thus:

label xen
  root (hd0,0)
  kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=64M
  module /vmlinuz-2.6.11-xen0 ro root=LABEL=/

When Xen boots, I am greeted with the message 'ERR: Not a MultiBoot
bootloader!', followed by it telling me that /xen.gz is a multiboot-elf,
and module vmlinuz-2.6.11-xen0 is a multiboot-module.. (from
xen/arch/x86/boot/x86_32.S)

Can anybody help make heads or tails of this? It may, in all honesty, be
grub itself.. this has a full install of FC3, and we all know how
RH/Fedora likes to hack up packages..

Thanks!

Carl
