Alright, thank you for the "noreboot" kernel option!

Here is the full err:

Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(2,0)

Doing a bit of research on the error message, found the following threads on xen-devel:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-10/msg00382.html
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-12/msg00470.html

I'm thinking this might not be a xen problem, but a grub problem?

Still working on the issue, any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

-Matthew
