I also had this problem recently with regard to some Ubuntu 12.04
domUs, but on Xen 4.4.1, Debian jessie. These domUs worked fine on
earlier versions of Xen. I searched around a lot and found a few
other people with the same problem, but no answers.
In the end I discovered that these domUs were using the
linux-image-virtual kernel package instead of the more usual
linux-image-generic. I installed linux-image-generic and
uninstalled linux-image-virtual, and then the affected domUs would
boot.
I note also that I have some domUs with Ubuntu 12.04.01 using
linux-image-virtual and these are okay. So I assumed whatever
problem there was with that kernel was rectified by the time of the
12.04.01 release.
I hope that helps you.
Thank you very much for your suggestions!
After Tianyang changed the netboot image used to boot the domU, the
error disappears.
So it is likely that the linux-image provided by the ubuntu archive
that he uses is kind of broken.
It is glad to know that it is not Xen's problem. :-)
Best regards,
Meng

Andy,
I really appreciate for your suggestions. Like Meng said, there is
something wrong with the netboot image(precise) from archive.ubuntu.com.
I downloaded one couple weeks ago and it worked. It's the most recent
one that's broken and it's not Xen's problem.
For the record, I didn't do further testing but images from these two
won't work.
