For the installation I tried to make on an Ubuntu I have followed a
tutorial whixh used yaird to generate the ramdisk image. Here is an excerpt
of what was said : You'll have to change the version of the kernel (it was
for a debian dom0)

We need a ramdisk for our new Xen kernel, therefore we do the following:

depmod 2.6.18-xen
apt-get install yaird

To create the ramdisk, we run

mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img- 2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen

The last command creates the ramdisk /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen.

Next we add our new kernel to Grub, our bootloader. We can do this with one
simple command:

update-grub

Now reboot the system:

shutdown -r now

Perhaps it will work for you ?

I have used these instructions in the past with much success. You should post specific errors are specific problems that we can comment on to try to help you further.

Todd
