Earlier in the boot process, do you see messages from Xen
detecting your hard drive, and then from domain 0 doing a
partition check on hda?

e.g. on my SCSI machine I should see the following from Xen:

scsi0 : percraid
  Vendor: DELL      Model: PERCRAID Volume   Rev: V1.0
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 286716544 512-byte hdwr sectors (146799 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off

... and the following from domain 0:

DOM0: pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured
DOM0: Skipping partition check on cdrom /dev/hda
DOM0: Partition check:
DOM0:  sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9 sda10 sda11 sda12 
sda13 sda14 sda15 >
DOM0: RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize
DOM0: loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
DOM0: NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0


What happens if you use one of the standard linux kernels on the
DemoCD rather than Xen?
