Jac, guys,

thank you all - I put that SCSI drive of mine in, Xen kernel is up and running, time to advance to guest domains
building :)

Thanks for your help :)

According to your config diffs the xen kernel has no IDE drivers build in (are configured to be loadable modules) while your original kernel has them build in.

So you need to find which driver is being used to access your drive(s) and explicitly add it to the initial ramdisk. (--with=xxxxx) (Adding the combined_mode=ide could be needed as well depending on the driver you need)

Best regards,

Jac
