Wow, it really does make a difference when we can see the configuration!
Actually you are not using savedefault like I was assuming. Which
basically means fallback only works when grub fails to load the kernel.
You said you followed the "HOWTO Xen and Gentoo" but looks like you
ignored section 6 on configuring the boot loader. It should look more
like this:
title Gentoo Linux 2.6.16-gentoo_xen_dom0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=98M
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 ro root=/dev/sda2
Likely the dom0 kernel is failing because it expects to be run within
the hypervisor. You need to load that first as in the above.
Hope this helps.
