Try 

dom0_mem=2048MB

It should be enough (do not forget 'MB' )

you need to have enough memory to handle the init process

Emmanuel,

Do you've got

"Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" ???????

Yes David, it is this message. However I carefully executed the command:

mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.32.50 2.6.32.50,

which does the same thing as the command explained by ubuntu.

Well, I think that the problem is that I have put some parameters on the xen command line, as explained here: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XenBestPractices
(I did this because I had a crash of dom0 when I tried to give too much memory to my domU, and this indeed solved my problem).

If I use the following grub command (generated by update-grub)

        echo    'Loading Linux 2.6.32.50 ...'
	multiboot       /boot/xen-4.0-amd64.gz placeholder
	module  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.50 placeholder root=UUID=3bb2e67b-19c8-4916-9977-4ff87983164d ro  quiet
	echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
	module  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.50

The machine boots fine, BUT if I use the following grub command:

        echo    'Loading Linux 2.6.32.50 ...'
	multiboot       /boot/xen-4.0-amd64.gz placeholder dom0_mem=512
	module  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.50 placeholder root=UUID=3bb2e67b-19c8-4916-9977-4ff87983164d ro  quiet
	echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
	module  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.50

it hangs with the message Unable to mount root fs etc.
The funny thing is that everything works perfectly well with the initial Debian kernel (2.6.32-5-xen-amd64).

So, is there a solution, or do I have to avoid any parameter on the xen boot command ?
