I don't see anything that immediately jumps out at me but I'm new to
this so I may be missing something. My grub config entry is below and I
have attached the entire output from boot to the oops that I get on my
serial console.

title Fedora (2.6.31.6-pvops-dom0-dontedit)
        kernel /xen-4.0.gz console=com1,hvc0 com1=115200,8n1 loglvl=all 
guest_loglvl=all sync_console console_to_ring
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-pvops-dom0 ro 
root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root console=com1,hvc0 com1=115200,8n1 
earlyprintk=xen
        module /initrd-2.6.31.6-pvops-dom0.img
        module /xenpolicy.24
