I'm using pygrub. This way each system has its own kernel. I believe the 
ramdisk failed - either in including a module, or through a silent

I use a self-compiled Xen 4.1.0 with a self-compiled 2.6.32.40 kernel. 
I'm looking at making them all into RPMs and hosting a Xen repo for 
kernel + xen - but I'm not that experienced in creating RPMs as yet. In 
time, I'll get around to it.
