You could try passing "init=/sbin/init". That would go in domU's
grub.conf (if you use pygrub) or "extra" line on domU config (if
kernel is on dom0).

Another possibility is that the kernel and userland has mismatched arch. Like :
- 32bit kernel on 64bit userland, or
- 64bit kernel, with 32bit compatibility turned off, on 32bit userland
(this happened to me once).
