I am trying to get Xen running on Fedora 6, which I thought would be easy, but I guess not. I am using the standard image from jailtime.org and my domU configuration file is below. I am using the same kernel of the host itself.

Xen filesystem images should be kept in /xen (legacy location) or /var/lib/xen/images (recommended location) otherwise SELinux will deny the VM access to the files & the guest will be unable to mount its filesystem. I suspect this could be what's causing your VM to not find its root filesystem.
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
