Unfortunately the error message is just the generic error message you
get when the stubdom fails to start; also the generated config file
looks fine.
It is difficult to understand what the problem is with these
informations.

If you want to track down this bug you need to recompile xen and
stubdoms with "debug = y" in Config.mk, then try to start a stubdom
again and send me the output of "xm dmesg".
