I am unable to setup xen 2.0.5 (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/) on a colo Athlon 2000+ box per the following error. The binaries were downloaded from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-2.0.5-install.tgz and I have tried both with xen.gz and xen (gunzip xen.gz).
GNU GRUB version 0.95 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 console=vga
[Multiboot-elf, <0xb72f2000:0x3ef3c:0x360c4>(bad)
Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
grub>
If I compile a more recent version (0.96 and CVS20050331) I get a Segmentation Fault:
GNU GRUB version 0.96 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB

grub> root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
grub> kernel /boot/xen.gzSegmentation fault
The partition (hd0,0) is an ext3 partition currently mounted rw on an 80Gb IDE drive.
I have not yet recompiled xen from scratch but do not believe it to be a problem with xen itself as this is a public release that is known to work elsewhere.
I do not have access to the physical hardware as it is in another country. Perhaps lspci is useful:
