Btw you shouldn't be using sda and sdb, you should be using xvda and xvdb.
xvd = Xen Virtual Disk.
That sdX device naming thing is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
Also, why do you have the kernel in dom0? I find it a lot easier to have the
kernel in the domU filesystem (use the kernel-xen provided by the distro),
and use pygrub/pvgrub to load the kernel from the domU filesystem.
