Use the vmlinux. By the way, if you strip it and maybe gzip it, it comes down
to a much less unwieldy size.
That ought to at least be loadable by the domain builder, which is a start.
Then we could see where it crashes next :-) Have you managed to get it this
far? If so, what happened?

:-(
You might be able to get the unmodified_drivers stuff to work so that you get
PV drivers under HVM. I'm not sure if that supports 2.6.24 kernels yet
though... That'd improve performance a bit once it does work.
