I traced the problem back to a misstep in how I did the intrepid
setup on my dom0.  I installed the 'linux-image-2.6.27-2-virtual'
package, and between this and whatever else I did, the xen-blockfront
module (at least) was missing from the ramdisk.

I went back and installed the 'linux-image-2.6.27-2-server' instead,
which definitely contains this driver, and now my domU boots just
fine.

These will be good in case I need to fall back to the kernel.org
kernels.

Thanks for the help!
