I had what was checked in a few days ago working quite well, so I decided to wipe the machine and try out two partitions (swap + /) and domains 1+ on loopback.

Now, after xen finished booting, the machine reboots.

The only think that's really different is my swap partition is on /dev/sda1 and my root partition is on /dev/sda5. But the grub menu looks ok as far as I can tell...

I'd be very surprised if this was a Xen issue rather than a configuration problem.

I suspect Xen boots fine, starts dom0, but then dom0 bails, probably because it can't mount root or such like.

If you boot xen with the 'noreboot' cmdline option you'll get a chance to read why dom0 is exiting.

First, make sure your xen and vmlinuz-xen images are built from the same repo version.

Best, Ian
