I just wrote in about this a few days ago. I fought with this for quite a
while. For me the solution was to change the domU config (e.g. /etc/fstab)
to expect a device that _did_ exist in dom0.

adding the device in /dev/ simply seems to hide the single line in the
logs that tells you what is happening. I don't know when xen scans /dev/
but i seems to be earlier than my manual mknod commands were being run.
