These shouldn't matter, but you've got a lot of unnecessary options
here. "com2=115200,8n1 console=com2" - these should be auto detected
now. "nomca nosmp" - no longer necessary. "console=tty0
console=ttyS1,115200,8n1" - this will split your kernel output between
VGA and serial, but if you use autodection as mentioned above, I think
ttyS1 becomes ttyS0. You can also just remove these for only serial
console and it should autodetect correctly. "rhgb" - this is an option
for Red Hat Graphical Boot, but based on your other elilo entry, I'd
guess you're running Debian, so doesn't do anything. So you could
reduce this to something like:
append="dom0_mem=1G -- root=/dev/sda2"

fdisk doesn't understand GPT partition tables and shows the entire
disk as a single partition. This is a way of protecting the partition
from old utilities. Try 'parted /dev/sda print'.

Posting your entire boot log may help see what's going on. In
response to your followup; 8,2 is correct for sda2:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 2007-05-13 20:42 /dev/sda2
If you're using Debian as your dom0 OS and have all your drivers
builtin, why are you using an initrd? That may be causing you problems.
I usually test with Debian and don't require one. Thanks,
Alex
