# I upgraded to the latest xeno-unstable via BitKeeper wich didn't solve 
the problem.
# Configuring just one vbd didn't help

# Changing physdev:hda3 to physdev:0x0303 solved the problem, any idea why?

# Output from sfdisk -s /dev/hda3

I don't know if this is related, but I have had some problems with 
Linux/Slackware not detecting the correct BIOS geometry for my old disk. 
I had to add hda=16383,16,63 as a kernel parameter in my grub 
configuration. I tried adding the same parameter to my Xen boot entry, 
but without any success.
# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 10
title=Xen 1.3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 com1=115200,8n1
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro hda=16383,16,63
title=Slackware 10.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro hda=16383,16,63

Thanks,
Fredrik
