Hmm, that's the usual grub.conf I use, but for capturing the crash logs I
use:

kernel /xen-3.3.gz dom0_mem=1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all com1=19200,8n1 
console=com1
module /vmlinuz-2.6.30-rc3-tip root=/dev/sda1 ro console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.30-rc3-tip

And Xen hypervisor is a debug build.
