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.

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: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
