I have tried to perform the same experiment with Xen 3.3.0, and the
same error occured. Moreover, I have tried to use the kernel from my
host Ubuntu (vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-server) and error was the same.
However, using vmlinuz-2.6.24-21-xen kernel still worked fine, but in
paravirtualized mode I suppose.

All the kernels and initrds I have tried to use were taken from /boot/
without any additional modifications. Is it correct usage for full
virtualization or some tuning should be performed? Or maybe Ubuntu as
a host doesn't support full virtualization for direct kernel boot at
all?
