Thanks for the tip. It did fix the error 19 problem. I'm learning a  
lot here.
I'm now using the following:

        title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
	kernel /xen-3.0.gz dom0_mem=262144 root=/dev/mapper/group1-dom0slash  
ro console=tty0
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen root=/dev/mapper/group1-dom0slash
        module /initrd.img-xen-2.6.12.6-xen  root=/dev/mapper/group1-dom0slash

I also tried with:

        module /initrd.img-xen-2.6.12.6-xen

The kernel does load now, but it falls over during boot with an error  
that flashes past so quickly that I can't read it. I've tried  
videoing it using my phone but the quality is too low. I *think* it  
says something about failing to mount, and maybe initrd. Currently  
working on ways to capture the error message so that I can read it.  
If all else fails then I'll use a decent video camera tomorrow.
Cheers,

Mark.
