I've just installed linux-image-2.6.24-19-{generic,xen} (hardy-updates) and linux-image-2.6.24-21-{generic,xen} (hardy-proposed) on my hardy system and my menu.lst seems correct :

Xen 3.2 / Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-xen
Xen 3.2 / Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-xen
Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic

The bug is closed for me.
