In the most "simple" case, the config file instructs Xen to read the 
kernel and initrd form Dom0 (your host system), via a path. If the file 
is not on the disk, it will fail with that error message.
Extract your ttylinux's kernel and initrd, place them somewhere under 
your Dom0, make sure the VM config file has the correct path to them.
Please note that the kernel need to have Xen support. Before 3.0, it's 
not the same kernel you would use to boot on a baremetal machine.

It has been boarded a few days ago, here is a reference:
