problem starting domU

[RJ45 <rj45%slacknet.com@localhost>]

Hello,
I could finally start a XEN3 DOM0

I rebuilt the whole system:

NetBSD xenbsd.domain.it 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (XEN3_DOM0) #0: 
Thu Jun  7 21:16:11 CEST 2007 
root%xenbsd.domain.it@localhost:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/XEN3_DOM0 i386

I started xend and xenbackendd

Now I Wanted to start a RedHat 5.0 domU

so I tok hte domU kernels and tryed to boot them:

xm create /usr/pkg/etc/xen/sl50 -c kernel=/root/SL50XEN/vmlinuz 
ramdisk=/root/SL50XEN/initrd.img 
extra="method=http://os-server.domain.it/distro/SL/50/i386/ skipddc 
text"

and here is my configuration for Xen domU

name = "sl50"
memory = 512
#vcpus = 2
disk = [ 'file:/domU/SL50/sl50,0x301,w' ]
#vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:11:22:33' ]
# wn-04-04-27-a --> MAC address
#vif = [ 'mac=00:06:5B:19:9A:2B','bridge=bridge0' ]
#bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
on_reboot   = 'destroy'
on_crash    = 'destroy'
on_poweroff = 'destroy'

I tried bot with and without NIC

but it does not work and I have this error

Using config file "/usr/pkg/etc/xen/sl50".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
