I am trying to get a custom kernel compiled and booted using pv-grub.

I am using ubuntu, and since its default kernel isn't Xen compatible I choose to download and compile a custom kernel as a test.

From a completely fresh Ubuntu 10.04 lts (32-bit) install I ran the following commands:

# Update the OS base install
aptitude update
aptitude -y safe-upgrade
aptitude -y install bash-completion
aptitude -y install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2

# Download new kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.34.tar.gz
tar xzf linux-2.6.34.tar.gz
cd linux-2.6.34

# Take the existing working kernel config
cp /proc/config.gz .
gunzip config.gz

# update config with new parameters -- I accepted defaults on all prompts
make oldconfig

# Add the required XEN parameters to the end of the config file
cat <<eof>> config

# Required XEN options
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST=y
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y
EOF

# Make builds go faster
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=8

# Buid the kernel
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-ih1 kernel_image kernel_headers

# Install new kernel
cd ..
dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.34-ih1_2.6.34-ih1-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.34-ih1_2.6.34-ih1-10.00.Custom_i386.deb

# Install grub and configure to allow Linode pv-grub boots
aptitude -y install grub
update-grub -y

# Make changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst to reflect our environment
sed -i '/^# kopt/ c\# kopt=root=(hd0) ro' /boot/grub/menu.lst
sed -i '/^# groot/ c\# groot=(hd0)' /boot/grub/menu.lst
sed -i '/^# indomU/ c\# indomU=false' /boot/grub/menu.lst

# Update the grub files one more time
update-grub -y</eof> 

This is what my menu.lst file in /boot/grub looks like

# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
#            grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),

#            and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/.

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default         0

## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout         3

## hiddenmenu
# Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu)
hiddenmenu

# Pretty colours

## password ['--md5'] passwd
# If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing
# control (menu entry editor and command-line)  and entries protected by the
# command 'lock'
# e.g. password topsecret

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
##      kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
##      kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=(hd0) ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0)

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
##      alternative=false
# alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
##      lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash

## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
##      lockold=true
# lockold=false

## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=

## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
##      altoptions=(recovery) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all

## specify if running in Xen domU or have grub detect automatically
## update-grub will ignore non-xen kernels when running in domU and vice versa
## e.g. indomU=detect
##      indomU=true
##      indomU=false
# indomU=false

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
##      memtest86=false
# memtest86=true

## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false

## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false

## ## End Default Options ##

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

When I try to boot the kernel by switching to the pv-grub-x86_32 I see this in lish:

  Booting 'Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.34-ih1'

After shutting down the linode and running logview in lish I see this:

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I followed the PV-GRUB wiki entry pretty closely, but I am clearly missing something.

Thanks!
