I installed SL5 on the machine, with virtualization included.  I then 
created a disk partition for the guest and put an image of one of our SL5 
workstations on it.  I created a config file from xmexample1 in /etc/xen, 
pointing the disk at the partition I set up and specifying the same kernel 
and initrd that the domain 0 machine has.  Did an "xm create -c" with that 
config file. No juy.  I copied the kernel and initrd from a postresql 
virtual appliance that I downloaded, into /boot, pointed the config file 
entries at that, and it boots.

thanks,
