Hi.

I haven't found anything wrong with your bundle.
I tested xen-unstable.hg with the bundle.
With the binary GFW in efi-vfirmware.hg which is somewhat old,
I can boot Linux in VTi domain whose memory is more than or equal to 256MB.
However with 128MB memory, it reaches to start_kernel(), but it loops
at somewhere. (I haven't tracked it down yet.)

Your case seems that the GFW is unable to load kernel image because of
the IdeController driver related issue, right?
So far I've avoided building the GFW, I have to do this time.
I'll continue to look into this issue.
