Hi All,
       I am not able to boot Xen .

My "/boot/grub/menu.lst"  has this entry

title           Xen 3.3.2-rc5 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18.8-xen
root            (hd0,0)

I am getting following error :
ERROR WHILE BOOTING =>

typo in filename?

on grubs prompt a "ls (hd0,0)/boot" should show what grub can load and what not...

press any key to continue ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Please Help me.

----
 I followed the following procedure from the
"Introduction to the Open Source Xen Hypervisor"
Zach Shepherd and Wenjin
taken from xen blog.

Install required packages
(e.g. apt-get install gawk libssl-dev libx11-dev gettext libncurses-dev
build-essential python-dev texlive-latex-base transfig tetex-extra
bcc bin86 pciutils-dev git-core curl texinfo libc6-dev mercurial
bridge-utils graphviz)
Download the latest Xen release
(e.g. hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/xen-3.3-testing.hg)
Compile and Install
(e.g. make world; make install)
Create a ramdisk
(e.g depmod 2.6.18.8-xen;mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen
2.6.18.8-xen )
Configure the bootloader
(e.g update-grub)



Following are the entries in relevant files =>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
