Ian,
It was a setup problem after all. Mea culpa.
One thing I had to do was to change the /etc/fstab on the xenU partition
(hdc1 in my machine):
/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults
1 1 <----------- I had the original /dev/hdc1 here
to match the xen config file:
disk = [ 'phy:hdc1,0801,w' ] < ---- This suggestion you gave to use
'0801' and 'sda1' works for some reason.
Using 'hdc1'
here and on the root = /dev/ line does NOT work, as you were aware.
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
I need to have an initrd in order to have a console. It will not work
without it:
# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-xenU"
# Optional ramdisk.
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.9-xenU.img"
Thanks for all your suggestions!

OK. I copied all the contents from (hdc3) /dev to (hdc1)
/dev, and that let's me boot xenU on hdc1. The problem,
however, is that this is not they way RHEL 4 works--I need to
figure out how the xen0 is able to boot off essentially the
same setup.
Have you tried using the xen0 kernel in the other domain? It's possible
there's some difference in the .config that is causing this.
I tried this just for kicks, and, of course, it worked.
