Did you include "console=hvc0" in you extra= parameter?  Otherwise you won't 
get any boot output.

I've just built and booted a 2.6.24 on Xen so I know it *can* be done.  It 
does seem to be causing issues for people though.

I've attached one but it's not yet as stripped down as I'd like it to be.  
Once it's as small as I can get it, I may post it online somewhere as an 
example.

I've been writing a howto on Xen-enabled kernel.org here:

Cheers,
