Interesting comments.

Can you elaborate a bit more as to why the 2.6.18 kernel works?

We have been hitting the same problem on the OpenSuse 10.3 with
2.6.22.17-0.1 (.x86_64-xen)
as well as OpenSuse 11.0 with 2.6.25.5-1.1 (.x86_64-xen).  Going back to
an older release 
would mean reversing the OS installation...

I had the same problem with a 3ware SATA raid controller and for me the
trick was to use the kernel source available from
http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg. 
Search xen-devel for my post from 2008-06-10. I give some more details
there. 

Greetings, 
Markus
