I tried also installing the xen3.0.4, the 3.0.4 dom0 and the 3.0.3
dom0. With both dom0 it can start, but it cannot run the graphical
mode and in the logs appears a "failed to initialize core devices", so
I'm begining to think that I can have a wrong .config. Any suggestion
is well received.

The key error is probably in the drivers loaded prior to the above message...
I searched and before the /dev/root problem happens a cannot load lib/sd_mod.ko

On a whim, try "--preload=aacraid"?
Is aacraid the scsi_hostadapter in /etc/modules.conf, and used by the
other /etc/grub.conf sections that work correctly?

I tried this (--preload) but it doesn't change the problem. I have no

Hmm, that's "normal", but usually independent of the filesystem error.
That may play in, though, as you've compiled from source? I'm not
sure...
I did what the warning says (mv /lib/tsl) and the warning still appears.
