The right lists are xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (for development questions) and xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (for more general user questions).

The README assumes that you have no special /boot partition (i.e. that the contents of /boot are on the / filesystem). As noted in the comments at the top of your grub config, your system does have a special /boot partition, and hence paths are relative to that. >The current file doesn't return an error but the machine very quickly resets. The "path problem" looks ok with the below config (assuming that you have files xen.gz and vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 under /boot). There are a few other errors though: (1) "kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 ro console=vga" ; xen doesn't take a 'ro' option, so just remove that (2) "module /vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 ro root=/dev/hda0"; you have a bogus root partition (/dev/hda0) -- there's no such device. Not sure what this should be; your FC3 install is using a logical volume manager so you may be able to use this directly (with relevant support in the kernel and/or initrd), or you may wish to directly specify the 'real' partition if you're not using raid. (3) "module /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img"; this initrd looks like it belongs to the FC3 kernel and is unlikely to work with the xen0 kernel. You say the machine restarts very quickly; perhaps you should remove the lines "splashimage" and "hiddenmenu" and see if you get any console output. You may wish to add the option "noreboot" to the "kernel /xen.gz ..." line if you find things rebooting too quickly.
