title        Xen 3.4.2 / Ubuntu 8.04.2, kernel 2.6.18.8-xen
root        (hd0,0)
kernel    /boot/xen-3.4.2.gz
module    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen root=UUID=73fd4329-a05b-4dd4-b6a5-e11e99e320bd ro console=tty0 quiet
module    /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen
quiet
　　

　　11.restart and choose the Xen kernel.
　　I got a crash here because I did these steps in VirtualBox. The info of the crash is "Crash Guru Meditation -2304  (VERR_REM_TOO_MANY_TRAPS)". It seems VB can't support virtualization guest OS, I also got failure when trying to install ESXi 3.5. The experience will continue when I got standalone machine and I'm not sure current result is correct. So pls don't follow me or you will be on your own risk.
to be continued ...
