[Fedora-xen] fc5 kernel-xen0 w/ pae

[Jason Tower]

i tracked it down to this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202182

i did manage to work around it by adding the modprobe lines in the xend init
script (see the bz link above), plus i had to build a new initrd with the
xenblk module in order to boot my ubuntu domU:

  mkinitrd --preload=xenblk /boot/initrd.img `uname -r`

now it seems to be working fine, i have access to 6gb ram and everything
starts as it should.
