Thanks again Aviv. I am really close now. The screen still shows nothing,
but the debug output has the dom0 kernel boot.
(Not sure why that would be... any thoughts?)

In the debug output however I successfully get to the the
(initramfs) prompt.

Full output attached, but some interesting parts inline:

(initramfs)cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0 xencons=ttyS0,115200 console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen

(initramfs) cat /proc/modules

fuse 65728 1 - Live 0xffffffffa0000000

a listing of /dev doesn't show any sd* devices.

So I am guessing I am running into a driver issue at this
point. I will dig around more and compare my working
vanilla linux config with the dom0 kernel to see if there
is something missing in my dom0 kernel.

Thanks for the help so far and if anything comes to mind
why I don't see console output on the screen (and only in
the debug output) that would be helpful to me.

I'll report back on progress.

If there are any obvious known workarounds, problems, bugs etc.
let me know. I know that the pv_ops dom0 kernel is very much in
development, but I am willing to try to work through that.

Cheers,
Todd
