What does the xend-debug.log say?

What is a 2GB physical hardware? Can you explain? Probably you mean RAM
or Harddisk, but I don't see what it has to do with your problem. the
PAE extensions you mention are only needed with more than 4GB of RAM, so
I don't see why you should need it.

That's a a fedora-specific script, and it might be better supported on
the fedora-xen mailing list. If it creates a xen config that is unable
to be started, it has some bug probably.

Henning,
Thanks for the reply. It was a bit of a late night last night ;-)
You are correct, the 2GB I specified was physical RAM. I agree I don't need PAE. The thing is, the BIOS has it enabled and the kernels available from the FC 5 project have it enabled by default. I need to stick with a RPM for the kernels/userspace utilities, else roll my own and maintain it. That said, I'm not opposed to tracking this down by compiling kernels/userspace utilities from source.
I've used the Fedora script successfully on another Xeon box. This db4 box happens to be Pentium D at 3.00 GHz. This is why I suspect some interplay between PAE and Xen is breaking things.
Thanks.
