I think your problem is something other than just the bootloader. That's why I suggested starting over at the beginning. I think you missed installing something or mis-installed something. Check the hardware compatibility section of the Debian wiki, too.
As far as help with lilo: It's been so long since I worked with it (8 years?) I'd have to learn it all over. But in the Xen home link, under Beginner's docs--right side of page, in the sidebar--it gives you generic step-by-step instructions, plus, IIRC, a bootloader config file example. Maybe, that will help some. At least, give you an idea of what the stanza is suppose to look like.
