This probably has to do with your kernel configuration. It's looks like
a typical boot error message, Xen or no Xen. Verify that:
* The kernel has the correct hard disk drivers compiled in
* The kernel has the correct filesystem drivers compiled in
* You are specifying the correct root device
* Your root device contains a valid "/" filesystem.
I would probably check in that order.
Also, you are using "/" for the Xen entry but "/boot" for the other one.
It probably makes not difference but it would be nice to be consistent.
