pxeboot xen

Hi everybody!

I've an fc6 box that successfully boots both 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 and 
2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen so I know that everything works.

There's another box that provides dhcp and tftpboot and the fc6 box can 
successfully boot into 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 but not 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen.

Google has many entries about installing via pxeboot and booting xen 
domainUs but I could find nothing about booting domain0.

The pxeboot error is "invalid or corrupt kernel image".

This is the pxeboot menu entry that I can't get to work:

LABEL xen
         MENU LABEL xen 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
         KERNEL /images/xen.gz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6
         APPEND module=/images/vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen ro 
root=/dev/vg0/root rhgb quiet vga=912
         APPEND module=/images/initrd-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen.img

I've tried many different convocations (convolutions?) but have had no luck.

Does anyone have a pxeboot stanza for xen that works?  Any version would 
be OK;  I just need a working example.

TIA,
Mike Wright :m)
