Are you sure 2.6.16 even supports your disk controler? And are you sure
it will be sda and not hda? The message you get indicates that the
device for root isn't apearing, usualy that means the driver is
missing.
I would recommend using the xen packages from ubuntu. They do have the
same as debian or not? Debian has xen for the 2.6.18 kernel, which
should suite your hardware better.

So how can I figure out if it is supported? When I install Ubuntu6.06
which is running 2.6.15, it works fine. As for sda/hda, Ubuntu says
sda. Is there any way to get more info of why it is failing? The
console output is so fast, I can't see anything. When I exclude the
initrd from grub line, I get a kernel panic of unknown filesystem on
/dev/sda6. So I assume it is still sda. I'm not sure what I am
missing. I was looking at the xen packages for Ubuntu, but they are
i386 and not amd64/x86_64.
Thanks,
Greg
