Well it's definitely compiled statically, because it detects the
controller during boot well before it tries to mount the root
filesystem. The odd thing is my normal (non-Xen) kernel flies through
the SATA detection, but the Xen kernel detects the first SATA port and
then sits there for a while (~20 seconds), and apparently never
acknowledges there's a disk there.
So it looks like there's an issue with the disk detection in there
somewhere - either in Xen or in Linux 2.6.16.16. I'll have a closer
look tomorrow when I can get hold of a serial cable to monitor the boot
messages more closely.
Cheers,
Adam.
