Yes, add the "noreboot" option to the xen0 kernel's "kernel /xen..."
line in /etc/grub.conf.
I also find it useful to use serial console output to debug boot
problems with xen: add
com1=38400,8n1 sync_console
to the appropriate grub.conf "kernel /xen" line (assuming 38400bps
serial conosole) and
console=ttyS0 console=tty
to the "module /vmlinuz..." line. Installing ttywatch from fedora-
extras is highly recommended as a way of capturing serial console from
another machine, btw.
There's also a fedora-xen at redhat.com mailing list, btw!
Cheers,
Stephen
