You are probably hitting the issue described here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq#head-ea8b39d71e49cc16d287257de4c482f99d883097
(6.2 "Why does Fedora Core 3 stop working after printing the line
'Freeing unused kernel memory: ...'?")
You'll either need to create the appropriate device nodes in /dev (such
as console), or use an initrd that starts udev.
