Joe,

Thanks for that. For some reason I'm not getting past the initial start 
stage of the vm. When I do a xm create /etc/xen/config.file.cfg it 
starts without error, but I can go no further to do the OS install, etc. 
I attempted using a kickstart config file as well, which had no affect. 
Here's what the console shows for the VM when it is started:
